Despite later digging deep into municipal affairs, Gatineau councillors took a moment at the start of the November 14 municipal council meeting to invite residents to participate in various local activities.

It started with the mayor, France Bélisle, inviting residents to participate in the Grand Partage fundraising campaign. Le Grand Partage helps provide food for vulnerable families and individuals in collaboration with the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. There will be a Breakfast with the Mayor event that individuals can attend on December 10 at 10:00 am at the Hilton Lac-Leany. Tickets are $35. The Grand Partage has been supporting vulnerable populations for 30 years. Interested residents can visit their website: https://legrandpartage.ca/

Alicia Lacasse-Brunet, Bellevue councillor, invited residents to her event, where citizens can meet with her and talk about their needs and concerns. The event will take place on Saturday, November 25, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, at Pavillon Lavérendrye at 730 rue Main.

Denis Girouard, Lac-Beauchamp councillor, highlighted that, financially, this is a challenging time. He encouraged everyone to donate to the Centre en sécurité alimentaire de Gatineau located at 305 rue Notre Dame.

Finally, Mario Aubé, Masson-Anger councillor, invited Gatineau residents to the first Christmas lighting at Parc de l’église at 6:30 pm on December 1.
