Montcalm Gallery

Would your friends call you an art connoisseur? Check out Montcalm Gallery for all your art exhibit needs.

The gallery features exhibits from a variety of different artists and periods. One of their current exhibitions is from an artist who uses inspiration from H.P Lovecraft’s writing to mixing with French techniques and creates amazing art. Creative experiences like this are always present at the gallery, and I would highly suggest that any visitor or resident in the city check it out.

Its unique environment allows it to be home to a variety of unique biodiversity and gives all those that visit a greater appreciation for the environment around them.

The park is divided into several sectors that give access to different activities and sights for the public to visit and enjoy. Its perk over other national parks is its multiple entry points, one even being accessible from downtown Ottawa-Gatineau.

Statue of Maurice Richard

Hockey fans and Canadian history buffs will enjoy this statue in memory of Maurice Richard. Richard “the Rocket” played his NHL career on the Montreal Canadiens, and he played in 8 Stanley Cup series during his time. Regarded highly in hockey and Canadian history, Richard transcended and defined what it means to be a true hockey player. He was the first to score 50 goals in 50 games.

Definitely, something to check out within Gatineau as it resides in Jacques-Cartier Park.
