There is a Driving Route part, starting at 9am - and a Picnic Part starting at about noon.

Bring a packed lunch and whatever you’d like to drink, and don’t forget your lawn chairs, sunscreen and bug spray. Not sure what the water temperature will be, but bring your swim gear if you fancy a dip. There will be pontoon-boat tours on the Gatineau River, games such as Washers, Ladder-Ball and Horseshoes, and pleasant conversation.

Come prepared to stay around to visit, relax and enjoy nature. In other words, prepare yourselves for a lovely drive and an entertaining afternoon in La Belle Province.
