How is it September already?! As summer comes to its eventual end and everyone is packing their backpacks for the start of classes, you might look back on your summer and think "wow, I really didn't do anything, eh?" Fret not, oh regretful one, because summer is technically not over yet!
Even if you didn't go anywhere this summer, it's not too late to spend a weekend away before the great chill sweeps the province. Good thing for you, Quebec's national parks have answered the call and announced the 10th edition of Free National Parks day this Saturday, September 7th!
