Gatineau Power Company

Gatineau Power Company was an electricity generation and distribution company in Quebec, Canada.[1] [2]

It was originally a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific and later of International Paper. Its operations included a streetcar company which served Hull, Quebec.

The company disappeared as a separate organization after it and other investor-owned electric companies were acquired by Hydro-Québec as part of the nationalization of electricity in Quebec in 1963.[3]
