Gatineau(/ˈɡætɪnoʊ/GAT-in-oh;French:[ɡatino]) is a city in southwesternQuebec,Canada. It is located on the northern bank of theOttawa River,immediately across fromOttawa,Ontario.Gatineau is the largest city in theOutaouaisadministrative region of Quebec and is also part of Canada'sNational Capital Region.As of 2021, Gatineau is thefourth-largest cityin Quebec with a population of 291,041,[6][7]and it is part of the Ottawa-Gatineaucensus metropolitan areawith a population of 1,488,307 making it the fourth largest in Canada.[8][9][10]

Gatineau is coextensive with aterritory equivalent to a regional county municipality(TE) andcensus division(CD) of the same name, whose geographical code is 81. It is the seat of thejudicial districtofHull.[11]

It is also the most bilingual (French-English) city in Canada.[12]

Toponomy[edit]

In 1613, during his first passage on theOttawa River,the great explorerSamuel de Champlainwas the first European to speak of "the river that comes from the north", traveled for millennia by Aboriginals, but he did not name it. In 1721, Canadian surveyorNoël Beauprérecorded the river, but did not give it a name. In short, the name Gatineau was not used inNew France.[13]

In fact, it was not until 1783 that the river was mentioned as Lettinoe in a report by Lieutenant David Jones to the Governor of Quebec,Sir Frederic Haldimand.In 1817, a map byTheodore Davisshows Gatteno, a name taken up with Gatino, Gateno and Gattino on plans byPhilemon Wright,the founder ofHull Township,and by Lieutenant-ColonelJohn By,the engineer responsible for building theRideau Canal.

It was not until 1821 that the name Gatineau first appeared on a map of Nepean Township, Ontario. The same name appears again onWilliam Henderson's map of 1831, and on another drawn thirty years later by surveyor Thomas Devine. Thereafter, the river was always referred to as theGatineau.[13]

There are two hypotheses to explain the origin of the city's name. It would be either of Indigenous origin or of French origin:

  1. The name of the river and the city would come from the Anishinaabemowin (language of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg) Tenagatino Zibi, according to the elders of Kitigan Zibi.[14]
  2. In his 1889 article published in the Echo de la Gatineau,[15]Benjamin Sulte wrote: "One hundred years ago, the Gatineau family was extinct, or thereabouts; it is hardly likely that we waited for its disappearance to consecrate the memory of the three or four fur traders it produced. The custom must have been established during the lifetime of these men, and because they traded in these places. Of the latter fact, for instance, I am not certain." In his own words, Sulte writes that he is creating a myth and that the story that the Gatineau family gave the river its name is a myth, invented by Sulte himself. According to Sulte, the name Gatineau comes from the Gastineau family - not Gatineau - one of its members, Nicolas Gastineau sieur Duplessis (1627-1689).[16][17]

History[edit]

Hull (Lower Canada) on the Ottawa River; at the Chaudier [sic] Falls, 1830,byThomas Burrowes.Chaudière Falls and Bytown are visible in the background.

Prior to European settlement, the Gatineau area was inhabited by theAlgonquinpeople which is part of the largerAnishinaabe.[18]The current city of Gatineau is centred on an area formerly calledHull.It is the oldest European colonial settlement in theNational Capital Region,but this area was essentially not developed by Europeans until after theAmerican Revolutionary War,whenthe Crowngranted land through theLeaders and Associates[19]program of the Lower Canada Executive, which brought settlement in theOttawa Valley.[20]

Hull was founded on the north shore of theOttawa Riverin 1800 byPhilemon Wrightat theportagearound theChaudière Falls,just upstream (or west) from the confluence of theGatineauandRideaurivers with the Ottawa River. Wright brought his family, four other families, and twenty-five (or 33, according to Philemon's own conflicting reports) labourers[21]with the hope of establishing an agricultural community, but by 1806, Wright and his family took advantage of the largeforest standsand began theOttawa River timber trade,floating the first square timber raft down the Ottawa River to Québec City. For a while, the industry was under a monopoly known as theGatineau Privilege.The original settlement was calledWright's Town, Lower Canada,and was later renamed as Hull, when it was incorporated in 1875.Bytown,founded in 1832, stood across the river from Wright's Town. In 2002, after amalgamation, Hull became part of a larger jurisdiction named the City of Gatineau.

In 1820, beforeimmigrants from Irelandand Great Britain arrived in great numbers,Hull Townshiphad a population of 707, including 365 men, 113 women, and 229 children. The high number of men were related to workers in the lumber trade. In 1824, there were 106 families and 803 persons. During the rest of the 1820s, the population of Hull doubled, with the arrival of Protestant immigrants fromUlster,now Northern Ireland. By 1851, the population of the County of Ottawa was 11,104, of which 2,811 lived in Hull. By comparison, Bytown had a population of 7,760 in 1851. By 1861, Ottawa County had a population of 15,671, of which 3,711 lived in Hull.

GraduallyFrench Canadiansalso migrated to the township; their proportion of the population increased from 10% in 1850, to 50% in 1870, and 90% in 1920.[22]Industrial development in the mid-nineteenth century attracted large numbers of French-Canadian workers to Hull.

The Gatineau River, like the Ottawa River, was a basic transportation resource for thedraveurs,timber rafterswho transported logs via the rivers from lumber camps to downriver destinations. (TheGatineau Riverflows south into theOttawa River,which flows east to theSt. Lawrence RivernearMontreal.) The log-filled Ottawa River, as viewed from Hull, was featured on the back of theCanadian one-dollar bill;the paper money was replaced by a dollar coin (the "loonie") in 1987. The last of the dwindling activity of the draveurs on these rivers ended a few years later.

Very little remains of the original 1800 settlement of Hull because the oldest sectors of the town were destroyed by several fires, especially thedestructive fire in 1900.The fire also seriously damaged thepont des Chaudières(Chaudière Bridge), but the bridge was rebuilt to join Ottawa to Hull atVictoria Island.

In the 1940s, during World War II, Hull, along with various other regions within Canada, such asSaguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean,andÎle Sainte-Hélène,was the site ofprisoner-of-war camps.[23]Hull's prison was identified only by a number, as were Canada's other war prisons.[23][24]The prisoners of war (POWs) were organized by nationality and status:civilianor military status.[23]In the Hull camp, POWs were mostly Italian and German nationals who were detained by the government as potential threats to the nation during the war. As a result of theConscription Crisis of 1944,Canadians who hadrefused conscriptionwere also interned in the camp.[23]The prisoners were required to perform hard labour, which included farming and lumbering the land.[23]

During the 1970s and early 1980s, the decaying old downtown core of Hull was redeveloped. Old buildings were demolished and replaced by a series of large office complexes. In addition some 4,000 residents were displaced, and many businesses uprooted along what was once the town's main commercial area.[25]

On 11 November 1992, Ghislaine Chénier, Mayoress by interim for the city of Hull, unveiledWar Never Again,a marble stele monument that commemorates the cost of war for the men, women and children of Hull.[26]

Geography[edit]

Gatineau is located in southwesternQuebec,on the northern bank of theGatineau River.It is situated at an elevation of around 50 m (164.042 ft)[27]TheGatineau Hillsare the foothills of theLaurentian Mountainsand located in the region. It is also the location ofthe second largest urban park in the world.They supply greatskiingandsnowboardingopportunities within minutes of the city. Gatineau is situated close to where theCanadian shieldand theSaint Lawrence Lowlandsintersect. The area has several major fault lines[28]and small earthquakes do occur somewhat regularly, on average, there are at least one earthquake of intensity III or higher once every three years inOttawa-Gatineau.The most memorable being the2010 Central Canada earthquakethat occurred in Quebec. Theepicentrewas situated approximately 56 kilometres (35 mi) north ofOttawa,Ontario, in the municipality ofVal-des-Bois, Quebec.

The city is covered in parks and green spaces. The beautifulGatineau Parkoccupies almost 360 square kilometers of forest. The park offers hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and beaches. The Ottawa and Gatineau Rivers flow through Gatineau and Gatineau offers boat rides on the Ottawa River.[29]Gatineau Park has 165 km of pathways and more than 200 km of groomed cross-country ski trails, making it one of the largest trail networks in North America.[30]

Hydrography[edit]

Gatineau's entire territory is drained by theOttawa River,the main tributary of theSt. Lawrence.The river marks the city's southern boundary. To the southwest, it widens to formLac Deschênes.The city is also crossed by several rivers: theGatineau,theLièvreand the Blanche. The territory is also criss-crossed by a dozen streams, including theruisseau de la Brasserie,which forms an island in the downtown area.

There are several lakes in Gatineau, the most notable of which areLac Leamy,Lac Beauchamp,Lac des Fées,Lac de la Carrière andLac Pink.Pink is one of the fewmeromictic lakesin North America.

Main article:National Capital Region (Canada)

Gatineauis one of the two major parts of the National Capital Region (Région de la capitale nationale), also known as Canada's Capital Region and Ottawa–Gatineau, which is an official federal designation encompassing theCanadiancapital ofOttawa,Ontario, the adjacent city of Gatineau, Quebec, and surrounding suburban andexurban areas.[35]Which include larger urban communities such asClarence-Rockland,Russell,North Grenville,Val-des-MontsandCantley.It also includes smaller villages such asBowman,Denholm,LochaberandVal-des-Bois.

TheNational Capital Regionhas numerous attractions, including world-famous festivals, national museums, famous buildings and architecture, sports, and entertainment. Gatineau is home to theCanadian Museum of History,one of Canada's most visited museums, designed by the renowned architectDouglas Cardinal,a leading figure in contemporary Indigenous architecture.

Amalgamation[edit]

As part of the2000–06 municipal reorganization in Quebec,the five municipalities that constituted theCommunauté urbaine de l'Outaouais(Outaouais urban community) were merged on 1 January 2002 to constitute the new city of Gatineau. They were:

Although Hull was the oldest and most central of the merged cities, the name Gatineau was chosen for the new city. The historic municipality of Gatineau had more residents than Hull, and this name was strongly associated with the area: it was the name of the former county, valley, hills, and park and the main river within the new city limits.

After the 2003 election, the newLiberalgovernment ofJean Charestpassed Bill 9, which created a process by which former municipalities could be reconstituted. Contrary to Charest's election promise of full de-amalgamation, Bill 9 restored only selected powers to the de-merged cities (e.g., animal control, garbage pickup, local street maintenance, some cultural facilities). The bigger expenses (e.g., police, fire, main streets, expansion programs) and the majority of the taxes remained in the hands of urban agglomerations. These are controlled by the central merged city because their larger populations give them greater voting weight. 10% of the eligible voters in each former municipality would have to sign a "register" in order to hold a referendum on de-amalgamation.

Residents of Aylmer, Buckingham, Hull and Masson-Angers all surpassed this threshold and sought referendums on de-merge. A simple majority of "yes" votes, based on a turnout of at least 35% of voters, is needed to de-merge. All of the above jurisdictions had the required turnout. A majority of voters in each jurisdiction rejected the de-merger.[36]

In the2021 Census of Populationconducted byStatistics Canada,Gatineau had a population of291,041living in126,476of its133,225total private dwellings, a change of5.4% from its 2016 population of276,245.With a land area of 341.84 km2(131.99 sq mi), it had a population density of851.4/km2(2,205.1/sq mi) in 2021.[37]

According to the2011 censusthe city of Gatineau had a population of 265,349. This was an increase of 9.6% compared to 2006. Most of the population live in the urban cores of Aylmer, Hull and the former Gatineau. Buckingham and Masson-Angers are more rural communities. Gatineau is the fourth largest city in Quebec afterMontreal,Quebec City,andLaval.

The Quebec part of Ottawa-GatineauCensus Metropolitan Area (CMA)– which includes various peripheral municipalities in addition to Gatineau – had a total population of 314,501. Between 2001 and 2006 there was a net influx of 5,205 people (equivalent to 2% of the total 2001 population) who moved to Gatineau from outside of the Ottawa – Gatineau area. There was also a net outmigration of 630 anglophones (equivalent to 2% of the 2001 anglophone population). Overall there was a net influx of 1,100 people fromQuebec City,1,060 fromMontreal,545 fromSaguenay,315 from Toronto, 240 fromTrois-Rivières,225 fromKingston,and 180 fromSudbury.[38]

Ethnicity[edit]

The 2001 census found that 4.3% of the population self-identified as having avisible minoritystatus, including, among others, about 1.3% who self-identified asBlack,about 1.0% self-identifying asArab,0.5% asLatin American,0.4% asChinese,0.3% asSoutheast Asian,0.2% asSouth Asian,and about 0.1% asFilipino.(Statistics Canadaterminology is used throughout.)[39]First Nationscomprise 2.7% of the population.[40]The area is home to more than five thousand recent immigrants (i.e. those arriving between 2001 and 2006), who now comprise about two percent of the total population. 11% of these new immigrants have come fromColombia,10% from China, 7% from France, 6% fromLebanon,6% fromRomania,4% fromAlgeria,3% from the United States and 3% fromCongo.[41]

The cultural diversity of the city of Gatineau is noteworthy. The city welcomes between 800 and 1,000 newcomers to Canada each year. They come from some sixty countries and enrich the Gatineau identity.[29]

Canadians were able to self-identify one or more ethnocultural ancestries in the2001 census.(Percentages may therefore add up to more than 100%.) The most common response wasCanadian/Canadienand since the term 'Canadian' is as much an expression of citizenship as of ethnicity these figures should not be considered an exact record of the relative prevalence of different ethnocultural ancestries. 43.1% of respondents gave a single response of Canadian /Canadienwhile a further 26.5% identified both Canadian/Canadienand one or more other ethnocultural ancestries. 10.4% of respondents gave a single response ofFrench,1.1% gave a single response ofPortuguese,1.0% gave a single response of Irish, 0.9% gave a single response ofLebanese,0.8% gave a single response of English, 0.7% gave a single responses ofQuébécoisand 0.7% gave a single response ofNorth American Indian.According toStatistics Canada,counting both single and multiple responses, the most commonly identified ethnocultural ancestries were: 70.7% North American, 37.8% French, 14.3% British Isles, 4.5% Aboriginal, 4.0% Southern European, 3.8% Western European, 1.9% Arab, 1.7% Eastern European, 1.0% East and Southeast Asian, 0.8% African, 0.7% Latin, Central and South American, 0.7% Caribbean and 0.5% Northern European.

Economy[edit]

Originally, Gatineau's economy was based almost entirely on pulp and paper. However, a number of federal and provincial government offices are located in Gatineau, due to its proximity to the national capital, and its status as the main town of theOutaouaisregion of Quebec.

A policy of the federal government to distribute federal jobs on both sides of theOttawa Riverled to the construction of several massive office towers to house federal civil servants in downtown Gatineau;[53]the largest of these arePlace du PortageandTerrasses de la Chaudière,occupying part of the downtown core of the city. Some government agencies and ministries headquartered in Gatineau are thePublic Works and Government Services Canada,Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada,Environment Canada,Transportation Safety Board of Canada.[54]

The following federal government departments have their main offices in Gatineau:

In addition to housing a significant portion of federal government offices, the city is also an important regional centre for the Outaouais region. The city serves as the location for the Superior Court of the District of Gatineau, which encompasses all neighboring municipalities. It also houses two of the region's major hospitals as well as numerous provincial colleges.

Other important economic sectors are health care, tourism, education, small business and the provincial public service. The health care and education sectors are particularly important because they represent the region's largest sources of permanent employment outside the federal government. The provincial public service also has a strong presence in the city, due to its status as the region's principal city. There are two hospitals in the city, one in the Hull sector and the other in the Gatineau sector, as well as numerous other clinics and health centers. There are also numerous primary and secondary schools scattered throughout the city. They are managed by four school boards, three of which are French-speaking and one English-speaking. The city is also a major tourist region, with over a million tourists a year visiting the city's museums, parks, lakes and other outdoor attractions.

The Gatineau-Ottawa metropolitan region has over 1,900 technology companies, employing close to 80,000 workers. There are also over 65 research centers and six universities with over 160,000 students (20% of whom are enrolled in science, engineering, and technology programs).[55]

Gatineau's economy relies on a few important sectors. A majority of jobs are accounted for between the federal government, construction and service industries. There is however a large effort to modernize the economy in the region through recent initiatives in the entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem. TheInnovation Gatineau Instituteis a regional innovation centre that boasts co-working space as well as startup incubation and acceleration programs to spur innovative business creation. In 2020, The HonourableMélanie Joly,Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages, visitedthe Outaouais regionto announce a total of $1,553,448 in financial assistance. This funding will help expand the entrepreneurial ecosystem.[56]

See also:List of Gatineau roads

Many Gatineau highways and major arteries feed directly into the bridges crossing over to Ottawa, but once there the roads lead into the dense downtown grid or into residential areas, with no direct connection toThe Queensway.This difficulty is further magnified by the lack of a major highway on the Quebec side of theOttawa Riverconnecting Gatineau to Montreal, themetropolisof the province; most travellers from Gatineau to Montreal first cross over to Ottawa, and use Ontario highways to access Montreal. However, it is expected that sinceAutoroute 50has been completed,[67]the new link between Gatineau and theLaurentidespopular tourist area may serve as part of a Montreal by-pass by the north shore for Outaouais residents.

Education[edit]

Theeducation system in Quebecis different from other systems in Canada. Between high school, which ends at grade 11, and university, most students go through an additional school calledCEGEP,orCollège d'enseignement général et professionnel.CEGEPs offer both pre-university (2-years) and technical (3-years) programs.

The UQO counts over 5,500 students, mostly within its multiple social science programs. It is world-renowned[weasel words]for its cyber-psychology laboratory. Faced with a limited number of domains of study, many Quebec students attend other universities, either inOttawaorMontreal.Every year, the UQO hosts theBar of Quebeccourse for certification of new lawyers.
