  • La Croisée – Spirit of Christmas

    Our annual Christmas event gathered many families and neighbours in our community and from across West Quebec.

    To-gether, in the spirit of Christmas, we collected over 800 lbs of food for the Aylmer Food Centre.

    A special thank you is offered, once again, to everyone who supported this event.

    Thanks to the Aylmer Food Centre and the Bulletin d’Aylmer newspaper for their generous advertising support. As well, thank you to Joe at MacEwen’s Supreme Pizza for offering food and beverages for our volunteers, and to Ray Coutu (a La Croisée resident) for our large signage.

    We also have much gratitude for all our volunteers, including our resident photographer – Patrick Bilodeau; our wonderful Santa Claus for his generous support; our Christmas Tree supplier, the City of Gatineau for its support and the Gatineau Golf Club for its beautiful hospitality.

  • Community Garage Sale – “Sustainability 101”

    Community Garage Sale – “Sustainability 101”

    On June 20th over 50 families participated in our community garage sale.

    • They sold some of their still valuable household items for a small return on top of their own time of use.
    • Valuable resources avoided land-fill disposal and the “waste stream”.
    • We were to able meet and talk with  friends, neighbours and community visitors.
    • Other people found items they could put to use.
    • and when left over items were donated to Big Brothers/Big Sisters, our community  helped children who could use some mentoring to reach their possibility. Our community donation of over 70 boxes, 42 large bags and 36 large items was very much appreciated by Yvonne Dube, GFGSO -Director General.

    It took just a little effort, time and generosity but everyone helped keep all things “still good”,  even better.

    Special thanks to Ray Coutu, Chris Meyer, Mike Girouard and RONA L’entrepôt Aylmer for donations and help with our signage.
