Adopting sustainable practices is an important value for Courons Gatineau. We take steps to minimize our impact on the environment, mobilize the community and raise public awareness, with the assistance of Enviro Éduc-Action.
Courons Gatineau also wants to draw attention to the need to protect our rivers! Everyone is invited to make a donation to the Ottawa Riverkeeper, an organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the Ottawa River and its tributaries. Participants are also invited to donate upon registration, and our sponsor Evolugen by Brookfield Energy has pledged to match the total amount raised.
Some of our sustainability measures
- We’re offering free transportation on STO buses to registered participants
- We provide free, supervised bicycle parking to everyone.
- Our participation medals are locally made from river logs harvested in the Ottawa River watershed.
- Water stations on course use recyclable or compostable cups.
