HomeGatineau Park is an important natural area in Canada’s Capital Region, measuring 361 square kilometres. The park, which features rich cultural and historical attractions, and is a prime location for a range of outdoor recreational activities, receives more than 1.7 million visits every year.
Managing environmentally respectful recreation is a unique challenge and an important responsibility. The National Capital Commission (NCC) is initiating a recreational services plan that will guide current and future recreational activities and programs in Gatineau Park.
A first public workshop, held on Tuesday, September 15, 2009, gathered 80 members of the public with different opinions. Many ideas were brought up and will surely contribute to create a better plan.
The second and last phase of consultation will take place in Fall 2010. It will focus on proposals regarding modifications to infrastructure and activities.
