Mer Bleue through the years
It is the largest natural ecosystem in the Greenbelt, and boasts the largest peat bog in the region.
In 1950, planner Jacques Gréber proposed the creation of a greenbelt for the Capital Region.
In 1958, the NCC began buying the land that makes up the Greenbelt.
By 1966, most of the Greenbelt lands, including Mer Bleue, had been acquired.
It has since become the largest publicly owned greenbelt in the world.
