Thanks to the partners and participants!

The team of the Sustainable Transportation Week wanted to thank you for taking part in the 2011 edition of this large-scale event for this region. Thanks to your involvement, whether financial or participatory, we were able to reach the objectives of raising awareness for the need to change travel habits among citizens and officials.

A word from Amélie Grenier

Hello everyone! What a joy it is to once again and always be part of the magnificent Gatineau region by taking part as a spokesperson to an event such as this one.

The Sustainable Transportation Week of Gatineau is the start for an even better future. It is the opportunity to change our ways and to choose a healthy and responsible way to travel. It is saying yes to health, to the community and yes, also to this nature that makes Gatineau such a beautiful place. And this great start will take place in a fun and festive atmosphere?? What could be better!! I congratulate you on this initiative and it is up to you now to say yes to change!!

We look forward to meeting you in large numbers to any of the activities!! I wish you all a great week!!

Climage change, air pollution, decreased physical activity, poorer quality of life, noise, accidents, etc. There is no shortage of reasons for questioning why we simply choose to jump in a car.

The purpose of Sustainable Transportation Week is to raise awareness of residents and decision markers in the Gatineau region regarding the need to change their travel habits, for their own good and that of the environment and quality of life in the city.

Sustainable Transportation Week is a week of all types of activities for every taste: lectures, demonstrations, activities in the streets, contests, etc.

What’s more, Sustainable Transportation Week is part of an international movement as it echoes European Mobility Week, which is organized every year in hundreds of cities in Europe.

Using public transportation, biking, walking, carpooling and car-sharing is not only good for your health and your wallet – it’s pleasant, too! Whether for a bit of exercise every day or to read a book, it’s time invested in yourself!
