Home > 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 Pêche , 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.
