Wakefield is one of many villages of the municipality of La Pêche. The village centre is on the western shore of the Gatineau River, at the confluence of the La Pêche River in the Outaouais region of the province of Quebec in Canada. It is thirty-five kilometres northwest of Ottawa, Ontario. The village, named after the city of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England, is now the southern edge of the municipality of La Pêche and was founded in 1830 by Irish, Scottish, and English immigrants. Wakefield is approximately a twenty-five-minute drive north of the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge that divides Gatineau and Ottawa (Ontario), along Autoroute 5, a modern four-lane divided highway that has recently been extended to the village. Wakefield is unique as a primarily Anglophone town in a primarily Francophone province.
Not to be confused with the town of Saint-Pierre-de-Wakefield with the nearby Evans-Lou Mine and Leduc Mine.
