Work in the Outaouais

Whether you enjoy city life, urban culture, and fast-paced hospital settings, or prefer a rural community with an active outdoor lifestyle, the Outaouais is the place for it all!

Nestled in the southwest corner of Québec, the Outaouais includes the city of Gatineau, and a large portion of the National Capital Region on the northern side of the Ottawa River, as well as extending through the beautiful surrounding Gatineau Hills and beyond.

Here you can conveniently enjoy a variety of summer and winter activities. In summer, there’s life at the cottage, and canoeing, camping, hiking and cycling in the provincial parks and Gatineau Park. In winter, there’s skating on the Rideau Canal, cross-country ski trails in Gatineau Park, and access to downhill ski resorts. The National Capital Region offers music festivals, world-class concerts, the National Gallery, many national museums, and arts and cultural tours.
