On Wednesday, September 20, the Défi sans auto solo challenge was held, a competition aimed at encouraging people to get to work or school through a sustainable mode of transportation.

Several elected officials and decision-makers took up the challenge, including: the Member of Parliament for Pontiac William Amos who used his bicycle to get to work. Of the four organizations in the Outaouais that have distinguished themselves by their participation rate and the number of kilometers traveled, the MRC Pontiac has been recognized in the category of Medium Organizations.

In the Outaouais and Abitibi-Témiscamingue regions, more than 1000 participants from 97 organizations took up the challenge of taking a sustainable mode of transportation to work or school on September 20th. This is a record for the region.
