What's on the Outaouais September 6-12
Anything can be a reason for celebrating in the region: the river, clay, yoga, electronic music and adrenaline!

Breathe in, breathe out. It’s the first edition of Yoga Fest in Chelsea. The program features workshops organized by certified teachers held around Hendrick Farm, Old Chelsea Square and Gatineau Park. A perfect opportunity to recharge your batteries and slip serenely into fall.

At Parc National de Plaisance
There are a lot of things going on at Parc National de Plaisance Saturday! In fact, it’s Québec National Parks Day, and there’ll be a lot of action: at 9:30, you can attend a sale of used Park items (such as kayaks, rowboats, etc.), and you’ll have a chance to attend the official opening of the Zizanie-des-Marais trail, the famous 400-metre-long floating walkway. What’s more, the first Clay Festival will be held at the Dollard-des-Ormeaux picnic area! A dozen potters and ceramicists will be on hand to show their creations and you can take part in various workshops related to this natural resource that’s so abundant in our region.

A visit to Arbraska Laflèche
If you’re looking for thrills, go to Arbraska Laflèche. Having tried it earlier this summer, I recommend the big zipline course as a must for those looking for an adrenaline rush! Extend the fun with a visit to the cave.
Arbraska Laflèche, 255 Route Principale, Val-des-Monts
$50 for the Ziptour
