Gatineau (2001 census population 226,000) is a city in Quebec, Canada. It is situated on the eastern bank of the Ottawa River, immediately across from Ottawa, Ontario.Before January 1, 2002, there were five cities on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River: Hull, Gatineau, Aylmer, Buckingham, and Masson-Angers. Although Hull was considered the primary city within this region, when the cities were amalgamated the name Gatineau was retained because the primarily francophone community wanted an appropriately French name. Most of the citizens live in the dense cores of Aylmer, Hull and old Gatineau. Buckingham and Masson-Angers are more rural communities.
A number of federal offices are located in Gatineau due to its proximity to the capital. Another important attraction is the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
A number of provincial offices of the Government of Quebec are located in Gatineau due to its status of main town of the Outaouais region of Quebec. Still another important attraction is the Lac Leamy casino.
There are many parks. Some of them are well gardened playgrounds or resting spaces while others are relatively wild green areas which often merge with the woods and fields of the surrounding municipalities. Streams of all sizes run through these natural expanses. Most of the city is on flat ground but the Northern and Eastern parts lie on the beginnings of the foothills of the massive Canadian shield, or Laurentide mountains. The first hills are visible, in the distance, in the companion picture.
The city contains a campus of the Université du Québec, the Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO).
It is also the home of Le College de l'Outaouais, a junior college with 625 employees on two campuses.
Gatineau has a municipal airport capable of handling small jets. There are Canada customs facilities for aircraft coming from outside Canada, a car rental counter and a restaurant. Since September 2003 there are regular daily flights to and from Quebec City.
For most purposes, Ottawa and Gatineau are considered to be a single metropolitan area. (See also: Twin cities.)
However, the transportation infrastructures or the lack of common ones ensure a sharp divide in quite a few instances. Ottawa and Gatineau have two distinct bus-based public transport systems with only minimal interconnections and different fare structures. Passes and tickets of one are not accepted in the other. 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 only highway in Ottawa, the East-West 417 or Queensway.

A hull is the body or frame of a ship or boat. It is a central concept in water vessels. The hull is essentially what keeps the water from entering the boat and acts as the walls and floor of the vessel. Hull construction is usually performed in a dry dock or on dry land.The very first hull is thought to have consisted of a hollowed out tree bole and was a Stone Age invention--in effect the first canoe. Hull construction then proceeded to keeled hulls, including ballast and on to modern double steel hulls with waterproof sections.
In the very latest sailing ships, hulls are often made of layers of foam and plastic, forming composite hulls, with a minimum of weight. Variations on the single hull can be found with outriggers, and craft with more than one hull, called multihulls.

Kingston upon Hull, commonly known as Hull, is a British city situated on the north bank of the Humber estuary. It is surrounded by the East Riding of Yorkshire, but is a unitary authority.
Details
Unusually for an English City, Hull has no cathedral. It does, however, have the Holy Trinity church, the largest parish church in England.
Hull has an extensive museum and visitor quarter which includes Wilberforce House, Hull and East Riding Museum, The Ferens Gallery, The Maritime Museum, Streetlife and Transport Museum, The Spur Lightship, The Arctic Corsair and The Deep. It also features the University of Hull and a branch of the University of Lincoln. Hull is the home of the Queens Gardens and the Humber Bridge, the third-longest single-span suspension bridge in the world.
The city has a football team playing at national league level, Hull City F.C
The city has two national league Rugby League teams, Hull RLFC team playing at the Kingston Communications Stadium and Hull Kingston Rovers playing at 'New' Craven Park.
Hull is the only town in the UK with its own independent telephone network company, Kingston Communications, with distinctive cream telephone boxes. Formed in the 1910s as a municipal department by the City Council it remains the only locally-operated telephone company in the UK, although now privatised. Kingston upon Hull has one of the most advanced computer networks in the world - a metropolitan area network.
History
It takes its status and name as the 'Kings Towne on the River Hull' from Royal Charter granted April 1, 1299 by King Edward I of England who needed a northern port to supply his campaigns in Scotland. The 700+ year old charter remains preserved in Hull's Guildhall Archives.
In times preceding this the port and settlement on the site of Hull was known as Wyke.
The city's association with royalty was broken in 1642 when Hull governor Sir John Hotham declared for the Parliamentarian cause and later refused Charles I entry into the City and access to its large arsenal. He was declared a traitor and despite a parliamentarian pardon was later executed. This series of events was to precipitate the English Civil War since Charles I felt obliged to respond to the insult by besieging the City; an event that played a critical role in triggering open conflict between the Parliamentarian and Royalist causes.
Hull developed as trade port with mainland Europe, Whaling until the mid 19th Century and deep sea fishing until the Anglo-Icelandic Cod War 1975-1976. It remains a major port dealing mostly with bulk commodities and commercial road traffic to Rotterdam and Zeebrugge on mainland Europe. The city remains a UK centre of food processing.
William Wilberforce, the leading slavery abolitionist, was born in Hull 1759, baptised at Holy Trinity church and represented the City as its Member of Parliament until his death in 1833.
Joseph Malet Lambert, a British education reformer who proposed universal education as an economic stimulus was born in Hull in 1853.
Thomas R. Ferens philanthropist, industrialist and Member of Parliament for East Hull from 1906-1918, proved to be one of the city's greatest benefactors, endowing among others University College, the Ferens Art Gallery, and East Park in 1927.
Amy Johnson, the pioneering woman flyer who was the first person to fly solo from England to Australia, was born in Hull in 1903.
Hull's administrative status has changed several times. It had been a county borough for many decades, but from the 1974 to the 1996 it was part of Humberside, and upon the abolition of that county, it was made a unitary authority.
Hull is also home to Paul Heaton, of The Housemartins and latterly The Beautiful South, proving that there's a lot of musical talent in the area too. Both bands have been amongst the most popular in the UK.
