BougeBouge is a non-profit organization founded and directed by two-time Olympian in triathlon Kathy Tremblay. The mission of our organization is to prevent the physical dropout of teenagers, young families and retirees by bringing together active living actors in the communities. All of our initiatives are based on the principle of self-determined motivations that put education, the need for autonomy, the development of a sense of competence and the need for social connection at the heart of its actions.
At the Municipality of La Pêche, we encourage our residents to take advantage of the Gatineau Park and the Covered Bridge. In partnership with BougeBouge, we are organizing BougeBouge Wakefield for the community with all fitness levels and ages in mind, with a 3 km, 5 km, 10 km and 21.1 km course.
