CHELSEA, QC, May 1 , 2017 – Tonight, the Chelsea Community Trail Coalition will present the powerful results of a petition to the Chelsea Municipal Council to voice their collective support of a viable recreational option for the former Chelsea rail corridor.
The online petition, OuiChelsea.ca, signed by more than 1,560 people, was launched last fall by a new coalition made up of six community groups who joined forces. They include: Sentiers Chelsea Trails, Rails2Trails, Chelsea Action for the Respect of the Environment (ACRE), Cascades Club, Friends of the Gatineau River (FOG) and Loisirs Chelsea Nord Farm Point. The purpose of the petition is to provide Chelsea Municipal Council a clear snapshot of the support by residents across the municipality. (more…)

Come out to celebrate spring and Sentiers Chelsea Trails with a fabulous evening of music, dancing and food.
It’s the fifth anniversary of the original SCT FUNraiser, and once again, the redoubtable Chelsea rock band, the B-Side, will play tunes from its evocative repertoire of rock and roll favs. Our first event, held back in 2012, was a memorial to Richard Garlick, one of the founders of SCT, and the B-Side’ lead guitarist during the years when the band played many memorable Chelsea gigs.
The Katie Diamond Band will open the event with some jazzy numbers to get you in the mood for more fun to come. Musicians from the Cajun band, Poutines Étouffées, will also put in an appearance. So be prepared to wear out your dancing shoes. (more…)
