Gatineau

Gatineau (/ˈɡætn/, French pronunciation: [ɡatino]), officially Ville de Gatineau, is a city in western Quebec, Canada. It is the fourth largest city in the province after Montreal, Quebec City, and Laval. It is located on the northern bank of the Ottawa River, immediately across from Ottawa, together with which it forms Canada's National Capital Region. As of 2011 Gatineau had a population of 265,349, and a metropolitan population of 314,501. The Ottawa–Gatineau census metropolitan area had a population of 1,236,324.

Gatineau is coextensive with a territory equivalent to a regional county municipality (TE) and census division (CD) of the same name, whose geographical code is 81. It is the seat of the judicial district of Hull.

History

The current city of Gatineau is centred on an area called Hull, the oldest non-native settlement in the National Capital Region. It was founded on the north shore of the Ottawa River in 1800 by Philemon Wright at the portage around the Chaudière Falls just upstream (or west) from where the Gatineau and Rideau Rivers flow into the Ottawa. Wright brought his family, five other families and twenty-five labourers and a plan to establish an agriculturally based community to what was then a mosquito-infested wilderness. But soon after, Wright and his family took advantage of the large lumber stands and became involved in the timber trade. The original settlement was called Wrightstown, later it became Hull and in 2002, after amalgamation, the City of Gatineau.

Gatineau (provincial electoral district)

Gatineau is a provincial electoral district in the Outaouais region of Quebec, Canada which elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It includes most of the area surrounding the Gatineau River, as well as portions of the Gatineau sector of the city of Gatineau north and west of Autoroute 50 and east of the Gatineau River.

It was created for the 1931 election.

In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it gained Val-des-Monts from Papineau electoral district, but lost some territory to Chapleau electoral district.

  • Gatineau (electoral district)

    Gatineau is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1949 to 1988 and since 1997.

    It consists of part of the former city of Gatineau, Quebec as defined by its pre-2002 boundaries.

    The adjacent ridings are Hull—Aylmer, Pontiac, Ottawa—Orléans, and Ottawa—Vanier.

    History

    The district was created in 1947 from parts of Hull and Wright ridings. In 1987, it was abolished when it was redistributed into Chapleau.

    Gatineau electoral district was re-created from Gatineau—La Lièvre ridings in 1996.

    Gatineau lost territory to Pontiac during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

    Members of Parliament

    This riding has elected the following Members of Parliament:

    Assad represented Gatineau—La Lièvre from 1988 to 1997 which was known as Chapleau from 1987 to 1988. This district had similar borders to Gatineau.

    Politics

    Like most ridings in the Ouatouais, Gatineau had long been safe for the Liberals, save for a lone Progressive Conservative victory in their 1984 nationwide landslide. Even as the rest of Quebec turned its back on the Liberals, a large number of civil servants who worked in Ottawa kept it in Liberal hands.

    Broken Trust

    by: Cutdown

    Here I stand a broken man
    Broken dreams slipped trough my hands
    What once was is now gone
    I can't go on, I am done
    Last call
    Last change to make things right
    Pick up the pieces and mend my life
    But how can I heal a broken trust
    It feels so hard, it rips my guts
