Driven by its desire to support regional facilities on its territory, the MRC de Vaudreuil-Soulanges is donating $25,000 to the Soulanges Canal Park for the Soulanges bike path. The funds received will be used to maintain the existing infrastructure.

Every year, investments are made in the upkeep of the Soulanges bike path in order to maintain a safe and welcoming infrastructure, and to add amenities for users.

"The support of the MRC Vaudreuil-Soulanges is very important to us. It demonstrates the importance of the Soulanges bike path for the region. The bike path improves the quality of life of our Vaudreuil-Soulanges citizens, and we're delighted to count the riverside towns and the MRC among our partners. This allows us to leverage our financial resources to maintain our infrastructure and improve the services offered to users year after year," emphasizes Marianne Sigouin-Lebel, General Manager of Soulanges Canal Park.

Visitors to the 35 km-long trail can enjoy a variety of panoramic views of the region, as well as a range of activities including an exhibition of the trail's banner banners, interpretation panels, sporting and cultural events, the Archéotour à vélo and the Xplorateur family tour in collaboration with Parks Canada.

"This renewed funding reiterates the importance the MRC attaches to promoting this cycling link in the region. The Soulanges bike path is an essential infrastructure that combines active mobility and discovery, as well as crossing the Soulanges Canal Park, one of the MRC's signature projects," says Patrick Bousez, prefect of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges MRC and mayor of Rivière-Beaudette.
