+===== NCC Attempts to Shut Out Local Residents =====
+Signs were posted on certain trails along the stretch of Notch road between chemin de la Mine and chemin Dunn announcing that unofficial trails would soon be closed and then naturalized. Despite the claim that this will "enhance the offer of recreational experiences for all users" this will have a severe impact on local residents and their health and quality of life by restricting their ability to access the Gatineau Park trail network. The Notch Trails Group is dedicated to ensuring that local residents can continue to enjoy the health and wellness benefits of the Gatineau Park Trail system while minimizing the dependence on motorized transportation to reach trail access points.

+===== How You Can Help =====
+There is strength in numbers. We can work together to demonstrate to the NCC that local residents play an important role in monitoring and managing the health of Gatineau Park in the sector along side Notch road, and we fully embrace the existing multi-use aspect of the nearby trail system with an emphasis on minimizing environmental impact.
+Talk to your neighbours, and use the link at the top of this page to refer them to this group so that they can become part of the solution too.
