Zensurance is pleased to announce that Malartic Design + Builds is the winning applicant for our 2023 Small Business Grant.
Ottawa-based Malartic Design + Builds was started in early 2023 by Hugo Latreille, an architectural designer who left the firm he was working for to launch his own business. His goal is to build custom-made homes that are eco-friendly and affordable to own.
Latreille was among the top five finalists announced on November 15 out of thousands of Canadian small businesses and entrepreneurs who applied for the Zensurance Small Business Grant. His application stood out for its depth and detail about how and why he started his business, what his short- and long-term goals are, how he contributes to positive social change in his community, and how the $10,000 Zensurance Small Business Grant will contribute to his company’s growth and success.
