Nicole reported that a vast new conservation area along the north shore of the Ottawa River from Thurso to Gatineau, known as the Refuge Faunique des Grands Baies de l’Outaouais is nearing completion and that funding for the expansion of the Parc National de Plaisance has been approved by the Quebec government. This will extend the park on both sides of the Petite Nation River up to the Plaisance Falls. This is also cause for celebration.
