What to do this weekend – August 28-30

A slew of activities are scheduled for this weekend in the Eastern Townships. Take a look….

A mountain bike ‘happening’ at Mont Sutton

On Saturday, Mont Sutton is organizing a fun event showcasing mountain biking. NS bike demos, live entertainment and BBQ’d food are on the agenda. To allow bikers to get to the peak quickly and ride the trails for as long as possible, a chairlift will be in operation. (Hikers can also take advantage of the chairlift.)

Saturday, August 29 | Chairlift runs from 10am-4pm | Entry fee


Walk along the Watopeka River

Have you even wondered what the hiking trails are like in the Parc historique de la Poudrière –Windsor’s historic Powder Mill? Experience them through the blog written by Simon Diotte, one of our collaborators. In it, he describes exploring the 25 kilometres of trails, the remains of the former mill and the scenic Watopeka River and its waterfalls. Better still, head for the park to discover the hiking trails for yourself!

Farm outings

Fancy petting an alpaca ? Or walking a miniature horse through a meadow? Or, perhaps, feeding the farmyard birds ? How about eating a picnic beside a couple of donkeys ? Then there is the « film star » tiger – a big cat trained to appear in movies ! Click here to find farm outings that all members of the family can enjoy !

And here’s another unique idea for a farm outing, suitable for all ages : On Saturday, August 29, from 7pm-9pm the Deça Deci Agritourism Farm in Marston is running a story telling evening. Plonk yourself down on a hay bale and listen to the fascinating tales of quirky animal behaviour !
