Val-des-Monts

Val-des-Monts (French pronunciation: [val de mɔ̃]) is a municipality in the Outaouais region of Quebec, Canada, located about 40 km (25 mi) north of Ottawa, Ontario.

Formed in 1975 by the merger of the towns of Perkins, Saint-Pierre-de-Wakefield and Poltimore, it consists mainly of farms and mountainous forests.

[2] It is also part of the National Capital Region which includes Ottawa and Gatineau as well as some adjacent municipalities.

At this time, after having exploited the mining and forestry resources, the inhabitants started to leave the region.

[1][6][7] Nowadays it is mainly the attraction of living around the lakes that is drawing a large part of the population.

[3] Val-des-Monts forms part of the federal electoral district of Pontiac and has been represented by Sophie Chatel of the Liberal Party since 2021.

Provincially, Val-des-Monts is part of the Gatineau electoral district and is represented by Robert Bussière of the Coalition Avenir Québec since 2018.
