Home at YQY

04/23/2026

Over the past few months, the Multicultural Association of Cape Breton has proudly operated the Home at YQY pilot project at the Sydney Airport. This initiative served as a vital launchpad for food entrepreneurs and independent businesses to grow, experiment, and share their passions with the community.

As this pilot project officially comes to a close, we want to express our deepest gratitude to for their partnership and to everyone who stopped by to support local vendors.

While this chapter is complete, our mission continues. We look forward to building on these lessons to create even more meaningful projects that support our community’s vibrant entrepreneurial spirit. Stay tuned for what’s next! ❤️
