PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate release

Coaticook, September 27^th, 2023 – The Mobilization for little bellies campaign organized by both parks focuses on raising funds to contribute concretely towards meals and snacks offered in schools within the City of Coaticook.

This upcoming October 7^th, 1$ per admission sold (hiking, mountain biking, Foresta Lumina and Acoatica) will be reallocated in various food aid programs of four selected Coaticook primary schools.

« The idea came from Carolane, one of our employees. Having school staff within her close surroundings, the difficulty in providing meals and snacks to children was at the heart of many of their discussions. Carolane suggested finding a way to get us involved to make the daily lives of families and schools easier. The entire management team immediately found the idea inspiring and that’s how “Mobilization for little bellies” was born. » mentions Caroline Sage, general director of Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook and Parc Découverte Nature.

As for the board of directors, they approved the project immediately! “Mobilization for little bellies” responds to a real concern for which we can help make a difference. We also invite visitors and the surrounding Coaticook population to place monetary donations in assigned boxes upon both reception areas: the Denis Maurais reception and Parc Découverte Nature reception” adds Jean-Yves Caron, president of Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook’s board of directors.
