Warmer weather marks the end of Gatineau Park’s winter season. Our crews have started to clean up the parkways and trails for summer use. They will gradually update signage accordingly.
Thank you for your patience and kind words, given the unpredictable weather this winter. We would also like to commend Services récréatifs Demsis and the professional and volunteer patrols for their hard work over the season!
