Le maire de Messines, M. Ronald Cross



It is with great pleasure and pride that I welcome you, on behalf of the Messines council, to our website, whose design has been reorganised to make it easier and more pleasant to read, but also to reflect the "nature and outdoor" character of our municipality.

This communication tool gives you access to a lot of practical information on the administration of the municipality, on social activities and on the community life of Messines. We hope that the information available will answer all your questions and that it will encourage visitors to come and discover the beauty of our corner of paradise.

Known as the "Fleur de la Gatineau", Messines is a favourite place for hunting and fishing, and also offers a wide range of four-season recreational and tourism products for all tastes. Nestled in the heart of the Gatineau Valley, Messines is located in a beautiful area near the majestic Blue Sea Lake. In a most natural environment, one can practice outdoor sports such as swimming, cross-country skiing, skating, snowmobiling, camping, biking and hiking. In addition, the population now has access to brand new sports facilities to practice tennis, petanque and shuffleboard.

Enjoy your visit on our website whether you are a citizen, a visitor or a promoter! Do not hesitate to share with us your ideas or suggestions concerning your municipality and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you to Messines.
