The Friends of Gatineau Park can achieve its goals because of the work of its Board of Directors, its Coordinator and a motivated team of volunteers and interpreters of the natural and cultural heritage.

Our Board of Directors

The Board oversees the operations of the organization.  It is made up of a maximum of twelve members including a representative from the National Capital Commission (NCC).  The directors are elected during the Annual General Assembly for two year terms.  The Board normally meets for two hour meetings which are held eleven times a year.  The Executive Committee (President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer) meets monthly. On average, directors dedicate at least five to six hours per month to their respective responsibilities.

Our Nature and Heritage Interpreters

Image
To offer the majority of our programs, we rely on passionate interpreters who put heart and soul in their work to help visitors discover the marvels of nature and our historical heritage. It is thanks to them that we can offer quality activities about the Park. Since the list of interpreters we call upon changes slightly each season, we cannot introduce them to you here, but, come meet them by ordering a private group activity!

Our Volunteers

Many of our projects could not see the light of day without our fantastic volunteers team. Whether it be our events, NCC-Friends trail maintenance workbees, our general public activities, our programs, and more, the volunteers who contribute leave their mark by making these activities work and providing great experiences to the visitors.
