Thanks to Nature
How would you like to participate in a unique event that puts nature back in the forefront and invites you to reconnect with life? And what if it’s also the perfect opportunity to thank nature for all the benefits it offers? Organized every fall by SNAP Québec, Thanks to Nature offers activities for all ages on Thanksgiving weekend.
Be part of a new tradition
Traditionally a time to celebrate what the earth and its fields divinely put on our plates, Thanksgiving is still the perfect time to gather with family and friends, though with a new focus on the vital role nature plays in our lives.
Whether it's to recharge, look after our health or share beautiful moments, there is always a good reason to reconnect with nature and give thanks for it.
Breathe in… give thanks!
On the day of the event, a Nature Connection trail is chosen in each participating park. Facilitated by SNAP Québec teams and numerous volunteers, the trail gives you the chance to immerse yourself fully in nature. It is an invitation to thank nature for its services through 5 activities.
