What’s New at Poisson Blanc in 2025

1. New Welcome Pavilion Under Construction: Restrooms, Shop and Café

At last, the welcome pavilion will be renovated and expanded! This has been a long-awaited project — the old outhouses near the entrance have had their day! By the end of the fall, a full-service restroom facility, a new shop, and a café will be available to Poisson Blanc visitors year-round.

3. Poisson Blanc Conservation Fund

To support our conservation mission, the Park has created the Poisson Blanc Conservation Fund. The idea is simple: give ourselves the means that align with our ambitions and implement projects with a high environmental impact in the Park area, like the current project with Carleton University.
