Parenteau's Gourmet Foods Inc

Parenteau's Gourmet Foods is an Aboriginal, privately owned
Saskatchewan company, founded by Rodney Parenteau and Colleen
Parenteau, which began operation in 1991.

In 1994, Parenteau's Gourmet Foods became one of five finalists
in the New Saskatchewan Product Category at the 1994 ABEX Awards
held in Regina. That same year the company successfully
registered on the Internet, which has proven to be a great
benefit to the company. As well, the company registered as a
business in the Entrepreneur Gift Basket Guide, which is
distributed throughout North American. In 1997 the company took
part in the production of two television programs. The first
is 'Home Sense' a guide for entrepreneurs, which appeared on
cable, and was produced by Tri-Media Productions of Saskatoon.
The second show, being 'The Great Canadian Food Show', which was
produced by Sound Venture Productions of Ottawa. The show made
its first debut in the summer of 1998and has been televised on
several occasions. In the fall of 2000, the company
participated in the production of a television show
entitled 'Careers TV', which aired on Access Television - The
Education Station out of Edmonton, Alberta.

The company is currently a member of the Saskatchewan Food
Processors Association, SREDA, Tourism Saskatoon, Tourism
Regina, Tourism Saskatchewan, Canadian Western Agribition
Association and Saskatchewan Craft Council.

The company produces a variety of high-end gourmet food
products. Our fine line of products begin with a variety of

Temptation is made with a line of honey blended products made
with fruit, which include, Saskatoon Berry, Blueberry,
Chokecherry, Raspberry, as well as Cinnamon, Belgian Chocolate,
Hot Chili and a Hawaiian blend. To compliment the honey
products we have a fine line of jam products, which also

Saskatoon Berry, Blueberry, and Prairie Berry jam, as well as
Saskatoon Berry Wine Jelly. Our no sugar added products include
Saskatoon Berry, Blueberry and a combination of Saskatoon and

we also have a available a fine line of tea products, which

also have no sugar added hot and cold cider products, which
include Saskatoon Berry, Apple and Raspberry. We also have a
variety of syrup products as well as Wheat Brittle. We offer a
variety of gift packaging which are made to suit the customers

As in any business diversification is an important factor in
survival. In 1999 our company diversified into the beverage
industry by introducing two new beverages. These beverages are
carbonated and presented in an elite fashion - 'Champagne
style'. They are Saskatoon Berry and Raspberry Champagne style
(soft cider). We have captured the true flavour of Saskatoon
berry and raspberry in these beverages. The launch of the new
products was well received by the consumer and an instant
success.

A unique company is a company that demonstrates new and
innovative products for the consumer. Parenteau's Gourmet Foods
Inc. aims to win and keep business with all segments of the gift
industry, whether as a reward to one self or as a gift in the
tourism industry. We will do this and continue to provide this
service by providing high quality, value added taste products
which are representative of Saskatchewan/Canada and to our
customers individual visit experience.

We will meet and continue to meet traveller's need for a unique,
tasteful souvenir of their visit to your area.

If you're not riding the wave of change... You'll find yourself
beneath it. Our company continues to expand its product line to
better serve you, the consumer and to maintain leadership in the
expansion of gourmet foods and beverages.
