Camp Fortune: Construction of a New Lodge for Ski Instructors

Camp Fortune (300 Chemin Dunlop, in Chelsea, Quebec, J9B 2N3) proposes to demolish the existing first aid station building and construct a new ski instructor lodge (+/- 330 m2) within a small area of the gravel parking lot and forest edge north of Fortune Creek and south of the hydro corridor.

The footprint has been designed to minimize tree removal to the extent possible.

Work is proposed to happen in 2025-2026. There will be no closure or reduction of public facilities or access detours due to the project.

Camp Fortune offers a variety of skiing over three peaks. It has 24 runs for different skill levels, seven lifts, and twelve lit runs for skiing at night. The ski school offers both private and group lessons available to all. Camp Fortune sits on federal lands in Gatineau Park. This new lodge will help retain workers and give them a safe space to meet, prepare for and plan snow school program.
