The first Saturday in June is Neighbours Day, a day dedicated to gathering and celebrating your neighbourhood and community. Neighbours across the province gathered for various community activities, and Aylmer was no exception.

La Croisée Residents Association came together at Parc de la Croisée for food and fun. They also organized a bicycle activity, where the neighbours gathered with their bikes and took off all together for a bike ride.

The Victor Beaudry Neighbours group gathered at Parc Victor-Beaudry where there was a BBQ, bouncy castles, and plenty of good conversation. The event was attended by Deschênes councillor Caroline Murray as well as Gatineau’s Mayor Maude Marquis-Bissonnette.

In the Deschênes neighbourhood, Groupe Communautaire Deschênes and Association des résidents de Deschênes organized a large event at Parc Madaire. The park was full of neighbours enjoying a BBQ, live music, a magician, and bouncy castles.
