Why Mont Cascade has a sign saying trespassing to hike and also their trails have no signage for hikers?

Of course we saw 3 families hiking and we followed Maps.me to the 2 view points and back but I thought I go back with a colored string etc and mark the trail voluntarily.

The views are magnificent all seasons so I don't understand why the management is not bothered at all. We aren't asking for cleaning the trail but just simple signage. Can I do it myself?

Hey! First-time renter here 🥹 Would you guys recommend renting a cheaper place where heat and electricity aren’t included but is $1,110, or paying more for an all-inclusive apartment $1400+ in gatineau?

I see a lot of rentals that seem cheaper but don’t include utilities, and I’m wondering if I’m missing something. Which option usually ends up being cheaper in the long run, especially during winter?

What are the pros and cons of each? I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Please be nice, I’m still learning! 😊

Je m'essaye... Il y a environ 15-20 ans de ça, j'ai mangé une poutine "fancy" à un des restos du casino du Lac Leamy. Je me souviens qu'il y avait une viande confite (canard?) et un fromage style Brie ou Camembert.

Ça dit quelque chose à quelqu'un qui pourrait me confirmer les ingrédients?

Merci d'avance r/Gatineau!

Édith pour ajouter un peu de contexte: je me sentais nostalgique de cette poutine hier soir et j'aimerais bien la recréer moi-même

Même prendre la navette est pas sans risque. Elle risque d'être pleine par boutte et de ne pas avoir de place pour vous. Allez à des stationnements moins populaires ou rendez vous avec votre vélo.

Bonjour, je déménage bientôt à Buck et je connais absolument pas les trésors cachés (Randonnée, Parc, lac et autre) je cherche à faire des belles sorties en nature avec la famille.

Je viens de L'OUEST je connais bien le parc de la Gatineau et autres mais L'EST est tout nouveau pour moi.

Merci des recommandations.

Hi everyone! We’re a family currently living in Manitoba and planning to move to Quebec next year. We have three kids who will be around 8, 9, and 12 when we relocate.

One of the things we’re thinking about a lot is how our kids will adjust to going to school in French.

We’re an allophone family and don’t have a French background. English isn’t our first language either, but our kids have been attending English-speaking schools, so English is currently the language they’re most comfortable using academically.

We really want to learn French as a family. We’re currently on a waiting list for French classes here in Manitoba, and once we move to Quebec, we’re planning to look into the Francisation program for ourselves.

I’d really appreciate hearing from parents who have gone through something similar, especially families who moved to Quebec with children around the same ages and enrolled them in French school.

How was the experience for your kids?

• How difficult were the first few months or the first year?
• How long did it take before they could understand their teachers and participate comfortably in class?
• Did they struggle with subjects like math, science, reading, or writing because everything was suddenly in French?
• Did the school provide extra French-language support or an accueil/integration class?
• How did teachers communicate with you if your French was still limited?
• Were parent-teacher meetings difficult?
• Did the school provide any support for parents who were also learning French?
• If you had children of different ages, did the younger ones adapt more easily than the older ones?
• How was the social side of the transition? Did they have difficulty making friends at first?
• Did you continue speaking English at home? How did you maintain their English reading and writing?
• Looking back, would you make the same decision again?

We’re especially interested in hearing from immigrant or allophone families who did not already speak French when they moved to Quebec.

We know every child is different, but we’re honestly a little nervous about the transition, especially for our oldest. At the same time, we really want our kids to grow up bilingual and feel comfortable in both French- and English-speaking environments.

We’d really appreciate hearing about your actual experiences, including the difficult parts. If your kids struggled at first but eventually adjusted, we’d love to hear about that too.

Thanks everyone!

On peut tu parler du nouveau bout d’asphalte sur la 105 à la hauteur de Farrellton/Pont vert? Le bout le plus magané de toute la 105 recouvert de nouvelle asphalte sans avoir grattée l’ancienne. On peut tu savoir qui a pris cette décision là? C’est neuf, déjà en mauvais état et déjà difficile sur la suspension.

Bonjour !

Je cherche des recommendations pour un salon de toilettage pour mes chats à poils long. Avant j'allais à Ottawa, mais c'est trop loin maintenant.

J'habite dans le coin de la Sablonnière.

Point bonus si c'est un toilettage seulement pour les chats (ou qu'ils ont des heures avec seulement des chats). Ou qu'ils ne gardent pas trop d'animaux en même temps, mes chats sont nerveux autour des chiens

Merci !
