AFÉAS DE SAINT-CHARLES-GARNIER

The AFÉAS, Voix des femmes d’influence (voices of influential women), brings together 10 000 Quebec women (1000 in the Eastern Townships) from all walks of life to share their skills and concerns. They reflect on women’s rights and responsibilities, and take action for social change, both individually and as a group.

The AFÉAS shares the vision of philosopher Sylvianne Agacinski who wrote in La plus belle histoire de femmes:

“

Diversity will lead to a new world. From now on, we must not consider the future of women or men but of society where they live side by side.” This is how, from now on, the 10 000 Voix des femmes influentes of the AFÉAS will be heard.

The Parc du Mont-Bellevue is the city’s largest park and the one that offers the most activities.

Three entrances

• Antonio-Pinard chalet (1440, rue Brébeuf) • Parking lot on rue Dunant (corner of Thibault) • Université de Sherbrooke

Downhill skiing

The most popular winter activity! See the

“

Sports and Recreation – Downhill Skiing and Snowboarding” section, pages 42 and 43.

Cross-country skiing

New Dunant – A.-Pinard section:

• The newly acquired land on the east side, next to rue Dunant, allowed for the development of a less steep slope, from the Dunant parking lot towards the A.-Pinard chalet.

• Skiers can completely circle the park – a 6-km trail! Improved trail maintenance:

• The purchase of a snow groomer such as the one used at Mount Orford will soften the snow and create tracks. • Walkers are directed to different trails, allowing for better conditions for each group.

Borough of Mont-Bellevue

LE REGROUPEMENT DU PARC DU MONT BELLEVUE

Walking

(please consult the trail map posted at the entrances): • Certain sections of the trail that surround the mountain are reserved exclusively for skiers.

• In the centre of the park, the trails on Mont J.S.-Bourque are reserved exclusively for walkers; these more natural trails are maintained to make walking easier.

Snowshoeing

• Snowshoers do not appreciate trails that have been packed by walkers and skiers. An area west of the downhill skiing area, used for mountain biking in summer, has been exclusively reserved for snowshoeing.

• Travelling in protected areas, even in snowshoes, can be catastrophic.

Pride, loyalty and perseverance

The Army Cadet program offers challenges, friendship and adventure. It aims to develop in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership, and promote physical fitness. All of this is carried out in an environment that develops the ability to meet many challenges, thanks to the cooperation of the Canadian Forces.

The Cadet program is the largest youth organization in Canada. Sponsored by the federal government, it is a civilian movement in which young people are not enlisted as members of the military. Activities, instruction and optional activities may include: adventure camping, marching, precision shooting, biathlon, military music, climbing, as well as map and compass work in the woods.
