This measure, which applies to residents of Quebec, aims to promote access, participation, and contribution to culture for all. It came into effect on Sunday, June 3, 2018.[1]

The Bioparc is delighted to participate in this initiative, launched by the Department of Culture and Communications, and to partner with the Acadian Museum to offer the people of Baie-des-Chaleurs some extraordinary Sundays! The local and regional population is invited to rediscover its museums—there are 13 in the Gaspé Peninsula, each one as surprising as the next.”

— Marie-Josée Bernard, Executive Director of Bioparc de la Gaspésie.
