wakefield, quebec

Wakefield is a village on the Gatineau River, in the Outaouais region of Quebec. The village, which is part of the municipality of La Pche, was founded in 1830 by Irish, Scottish and English immigrants and is approximately thirty minutes by car from Ottawa, Ontario. During the summer a steam train operates between Wakefield and Gatineau, Quebec. The primary industry in the village is tourism. The main attractions, in addition to a picturesque setting, are the covered bridge spanning the Gatineau River and the recently restored MacLaren Mill. The village also provides an access point to Gatineau Park. The village has developed a reputation for a somewhat bohemian lifestyle and boasts a surprising number of cafes, pubs and galleries. Public buildings include a hospital, police station and a library. Former Canadian prime minister Lester Pearson is buried at MacLaren Cemetery in Wakefield.
