	Gatineau, Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nonetheless, the name Gatineau was chosen for the new amalgamated municipality because it was more representative of the region (given that the federal Gatineau Park, the Gatineau Hills, and the Gatineau River defined the area geographically), and the Parti Québécois government allegedly wanted an appropriately French name.
		Gatineau is the city of license for several television and radio stations, although many more stations licensed to Ottawa are also available in the area.
		Gatineau is also served primarily by daily newspapers published in Ottawa, including the French Le Droit and the English Ottawa Citizen, although a number of weekly community newspapers are published in Gatineau.

	NCC Watch: Why Gatineau Park Should be Nationalized (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In its 1990 master plan for Gatineau Park, the NCC committed to purchasing private property in the park, as well as providing a legal framework for protection of the park.

		Murray said the plants are in a valley once owned by Roderick Percy Sparks, a man he said played a far more influential role in founding Gatineau Park than prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, who is still more widely regarded as the park's founder.
