Fall Programming

This is the next step.

Since 2019, workgroups have been preparing broad plans and key objectives for the outdoor community. Now that the ground is ready, we will need your input to help define and strengthen them. Please start by watching this short video!

 

How it works

Virtual conversations covering 7 objectives will be taking place this fall. Conversations focusing on four of the seven objectives will occur one Monday per month. Conversations focusing on the remaining 3 topics will occur one Wednesday a month.  Your role is to participate in the conversations, springboarding from what the workgroups created for you to develop tangible action plans to be adopted at the Summit in September 2022.

Please watch the videos below before you join a conversation. This is very important to ensure that our meetings are as effective and enjoyable as possible!

We need a unified voice to thrive as a community. Your generosity, both in terms of your time and perspective, is critical to making this vision a reality. Your contribution will ensure that when we come together as a community in Gatineau in September 2022, we will have a realistic, compelling plan of action that is supported by our entire sector.
