A group of Pomerleau Inc. employees have decided to take up a significant physical challenge: to cycle from Ottawa to Halifax.

For 50 hours, these men and women will be transformed into veritable cycling machines! 95 men and seven women have undertaken a rigorous four-month training schedule to achieve their goal: to be able to cycle 15 hours each, or approximately 400 km.

The climatic conditions these courageous cyclists might face (rain, wind, cold) have motivated them to train intensively for more than four months. This challenge represents 1,500 km.

Pomerleau decided to use this challenge as an opportunity to raise funds for the following charitable organizations: IWK Foundation, Cornwall Community Hospital, Centraide Québec et Chaudière Appalaches, L’IRIC and the Stéphanie Gravel fund.
