Piste cyclable, Bicycle trail, La Route verte
PROLONGEMENT DE LA ROUTE VERTE
La Route Verte, le plus grand réseau cyclable en Amérique du Nord, prend de l’expansion. La députée Charlotte L’Écuyer et le ministre responsable de la région de l’Outaouais, Norman MacMillan, ont dévoilé hier une aide financière de 32 000 $ à la municipalité de Pontiac, pour la réalisation de deux portions du sentier, qui relieront le réseau cyclable de la région à celui de Gatineau, et donc au reste du Québec. Les travaux doivent commencer dès cet automne dans le premier secteur (Quyon), et au printemps dans le second (Breckenridge). La Route Verte est un réseau de 4 700 km de voies cyclables, traversant 321 municipalités et 16 régions du Québec.
LA ROUTE VERTE EXTENSION
La Route Verte, the largest cycling network in North America, is expanding. Charlotte L'Écuyer MNA and the Minister responsible for the Outaouais region, Norman MacMillan, yesterday announced a grant of $32,000 to the municipality of Pontiac, for the construction of two portions of the trail that will connect the cycling network in the region to that of Gatineau, and the rest of Quebec. Work should begin this fall in the first sector (Quyon), and in the second (Breckenridge) next spring. The Route Verte is a network of 4,700 km of bike paths, across 321 municipalities and 16 regions of Quebec.

Breckenridge, Pontiac
Breckenridge residents may feel left out of the information below on CLSCs, Post Offices
and English elementary schools, and those of us south of Elm have phone numbers
beginning 682, 684 or 332 rather than 455 (Luskville) or 458 (Quyon).
The CLSC in Aylmer is at 425 rue Leguerrier, Aylmer (Gatineau) (behind the Galeries
d'Aylmer). You can get a blood test without an appointment if you go in the morning.
Perhaps best to phone first: - (819) 966-6540 ext 0. (no charge for blood test).
There's a postal outlet in the far back of Jean Coutu (in the Galeries d'Aylmer), and
you can mail anything that will fit, in the out-going slots at community mailboxes.
If you are lucky enough to have your own rural mailbox, the mail person will pick up
mail from it.
The Western Québec School Board has three English elementary schools that accept
children from the Luskville and Breckenridge areas of Pontiac (the former Eardley
township, east of Kennedy road).
French immersion is available.
The three elementary schools are: Eardley Elementary (on North Street),
Lord Aylmer (on Frank Robinson) and South Hull School (on Crescent Drive).
Symmes Junior High and D'Arcy McGee High School are on du Plateau,
close to chemin Vanier.
