The Outaouais region of Quebec covers a lot
of territory, from the city of Gatineau—within
eyesight of the Canadian Parliament Buildings
across the Ottawa River—to the unspoiled
wilderness region of Kenauk Nature Park, next
to the Laurentian region on its northernmost
border. With its close proximity to the nation's
capital, Outaouais is centrally located for groups
with ties to government, national associations
and business to meet.
Gatineau is a 10-minute cab ride across the
Alexandra or Champlain Bridges straight from
downtown Ottawa. Gatineau hugs the banks of
the Ottawa River, and features scenic bike and
walking trails, a lively culinary scene, a choice of
excellent craft breweries and a world-renowned
sommelier's restaurant and wine bar, right down-
town. From the excitement of Casino Lac-Leamy
to the serene small towns of Wakefield and Chel-
sea, where the restful Nordic Spa-Nature calms
the soul and senses, Gatineau and the greater
Outaouais region has a diverse range of activities
for groups to experience.
