	Gatineau, Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gatineau (2001 census population 226,296) is a city in western Quebec, Canada.
		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 the Outaouais region of Quebec.
		Many Gatineau highways and major arteries feed directly into the bridges crossing over to Ottawa, but once there the roads land into the dense downtown grid or in residential areas, with no easy connection to the main highway in Ottawa, the East-West 417 or Queensway.

		It is located on the west bank of the Gatineau River and the north shore of the Ottawa River, directly opposite Ottawa, Ontario.
		The Gatineau River, like the Ottawa River, was very much the preserve of the draveurs, people who would use the river to transport logs from lumber camps until they arrived downriver; the Gatineau River drains into the Ottawa River, which ends at Montréal, Québec.
		The log-filled Ottawa River (as viewed from Hull) appeared on the back of the Canadian one-dollar bill until it was replaced by a dollar coin (the "loonie") in 1987; the very last of the dwindling activity of the draveurs on these rivers ended a few years later.

		It was created through the merger of 7 municipalities situated east of the Gatineau River (Pointe-Gatineau, Touraine, East Templeton, West Templeton, village of Templeton and Gatineau), and is the largest French-speaking municipality of the National Capital Region and fifth-largest city in Québec.
		Gatineau is now the seat of the Hull Diocese, known as the Diocèse de Gatineau-Hull since its transfer there a few years ago.
		Gatineau also has hospital facilities (CHG), and an airport coupled with a large industrial park that can easily be reached by a superhighway (A-50) which crosses the entire breadth of the city, connecting it with the Buckingham-Angers-Masson area to the east and with Hull, AYLMER and OTTAWA, Ont, to the west.

		The awe came from the magnificence of the river, the exasperation from its vulnerability.
		For close to 180 years, proprietorship of the Gatineau was in the hands of a succession of lumber barons and pulp and paper companies.
		If it's the vulnerability of the Gatineau that lends a sense of urgency to the organization of the Festival, and in a perverse sort of way, leads to it's success, the river itself cannot be ignored as a drawing card.

		At Ironside, where the Chelsea Road comes closest to the Gatineau River the foot of Farmer’s Rapids made the fast flowing river ideal for a ferry and that is where Philemon’s road crossed over to the east side.
		In 1835, a number of residents of the right and left banks of the Gatineau River felt that the traffic had reached the point where it was too heavy for a ferry.
		Considering the swift current, the thick cakes of ice floating down river during the spring break-up and the large quantity of logs floating down practically the year round, it is not surprising that the piers and the wooden structure suffered heavy damage.

		Steam navigation on the river began as early as 1822 between Grenville and Hull, which proved essential for the construction of the lumberyards of Philomen Wright, and for the construction of the Rideau Canal by Colonel John By from 1826 to 1832.
		When Queen Victoria chose Bytown to be the capital of the Province of Canada in 1857, the river once again served bravely in the construction of the majestic parliament buildings which were completed in 1866, and in the subsequent growth of the little community.
