A little rain couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of 100+ people who headed to Gatineau Park for the annual iSisters Hike and Picnic in the Park. This is my second year attending the event, which features an easy 5 km walk starting at the Relais de pleine air (on Boulevard Cité des Jeunes).
Despite a little detour, caused by missing a directional arrow somewhere, we returned to the pavilion just as the rain started up again. When we arrived, we found an enormous buffet lunch was waiting for us. In addition, a silent auction featuring a great selection of goodies kept everyone busy through lunch.
Gatineau Park is an amazing public space that is less than 15 minutes away. It is one of my favourite places and a great place to spend a few hours for a good cause.
iSisters is a technology mentoring organization (non-profit) that creates community-based programs to mentor and educate marginalized women about technology. The programs focus on building confidence, self-esteem and economic independence by helping women develop technology and employability skills.
