The National Capital Commission (NCC) continues to open up its parkways to pedestrians and cyclists, announcing this week that starting Friday, it will close off roads in Gatineau Park to motor vehicles in favour of active transportation.
The Gatineau, Champlain and Fortune Lake parkways in Gatineau Park will be closed to motor traffic from Friday morning to Sunday, June 28.
In keeping with its recent pilot projects involving partial closures of NCC parkways in Ottawa, the Crown corporation said in a statement it’s closing the Gatineau Park roads to give park users the space to get fresh air and exercise while maintaining physical distancing amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
