A few gift ideas for teachers

With the end of the school year just around the corner, you may be tempted to thank your child's teacher! Instead of giving them yet another cup or pallet of chocolate, why not let the teacher choose what he or she likes from one of the 200 merchants in the Montreal Public Markets network? This year, to say thank you to those who have nurtured students' curiosity all year long, consider offering the Marchés publics de Montréal gift card! It's a simple gift that says thank you with a local, gourmet twist that's sure to suit every taste.

With this gift card in their pocket, teachers can treat themselves to the store of their choice at the Atwater, Jean-Talon or Maisonneuve markets, or at one of the Neighbourhood or Solidarity Markets.

The Montreal Public Markets gift card is easy to use. You can buy it in person at our administrative offices at Atwater or Jean-Talon markets, or order it by mail. With this prepaid card, which works like a VISA, teachers can choose what really suits them.
 

Offer the gift card

Add a cute personal touch

Your child probably also wants to take part in his teacher's thank-you gift. It couldn't be easier! We suggest you get them involved by creating a card with their recommendations for must-see market stops.
 

This recommendation activity is sure to turn this gift into a moment of parent-child-teacher bonding. What's more, your child will become a little local guide for his or her teacher!  Pride guaranteed.
