My Commitment to the Acadian Peninsula VeloRoute

Retired from the New Brunswick Department of Tourism for more than 10 years, I remain deeply committed to the development of the Acadian Peninsula VeloRoute.

From the very beginning, I recognized the tremendous potential of this project to stimulate both local and regional economic growth. The VeloRoute represents far more than a simple network of cycling trails: it is a catalyst for community vitality, a showcase for our culture and landscapes, and a source of collective pride.

Access to the trails also contributes to physical and mental well-being by offering everyone the opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities in a safe and inspiring environment.
