A heartfelt gesture!

Throughout the year, the Lib tenants undertook various initiatives to raise funds for the Mathieu Froment-Savoie Foundation, a palliative care home in Gatineau. Their commitment was crowned with success, raising an impressive $3,000.

Francis Charron, president of the EMD-Batimo group which built this unique living environment, guided by his legendary generosity, decided that the company would double this amount. A cheque for $6,000 was presented to the f oundation. A gesture which testifies to the solidarity, involvement, and philanthropic commitment of an amazing community, and which will have a significant impact on this noble cause.

Congratulations to all participants on this great success. There’s strength in numbers, and together we can make a difference in people’s lives!

A splendid courtyard at the heart of the complex

Welcome to our magnificent courtyard!

A relaxing space equipped with BBQs for those who wish to express their culinary talents and enjoy the fine weather while savouring a fine feast. The perfect place for alfresco aperitif on a warm summer’s day, or for stargazing wrapped up in a cozy blanket.

An outdoor oasis offering a soothing, friendly environment.

Hats off to the artist!

Jean-Yves Routhier, one of the complex’s tenants, shares some of his works with us, much to our joy.

Originally from Angers, Gatineau, Mr. Routhier draws inspiration from his native land’s landscapes to paint watercolours that captivate the eye and the imagination. These works, which he occasionally exhibits, are a true delight and a demonstration of his talent and passion.

We can’t wait to discover more!

Top 3 Things to do This Summer

#1: Old Aylmer Festival

It’s become a tradition: everyone’s favourite family and festive event is back for its 9th edition. You guessed it, it’s the Old Aylmer Festival, taking place on August 19 and 20!

Rue Principale, between Parker and Jubilée, will be closed to traffic to make way for exhibitors and special activities organized for the occasion. Several musical performances will be held in local bars.

A festival not to be missed!

#2: A fascinating exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada

Uninvited pays tribute to women’s creativity as expressed in different regions of the country during the effervescent interwar years.

The Gallery is delighted to be the fourth and final stop for this remarkable exhibition, which offers a comprehensive and diverse portrait of the visual arts in Canada during a crucial period of modernity.

If you must see only one exhibition this year, this is the one!

#3: Gatineau Park

Known as the green lung of the Outaouais region, Gatineau Park covers 361 km² of hills and forests. Its rich biodiversity and proximity to the city make it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, biking, canoeing and cross-country skiing.

Highlights include Mackenzie King Estate, the Champlain Lookout and Philippe Lake. Gatineau Park is managed and protected by the National Capital Commission.

The perfect place to feel at one with nature!

The Lib Aylmer, finalist in the “Best of Aylmer” competition.

Congratulations to all nominees. See you next year!

The Academy at the Heart of Lib Aylmer History

A series of panels highlighting the history of the academy were installed in the grand salon.

A story that begins in 1861, with the construction of the academy, all the way to 2022, with the completion of the Lib project, without forgetting the devastating fire that part of this building experienced in 1925.

A beautiful way to grasp the soul of the building and pay tribute to the people who have resided here over time.
