Area overview
About Aylmer
Aylmer is the western sector of Gatineau, on the shore of the Ottawa River. Its historic core along rue Principale has a village feel, with the Aylmer Marina and riverside parks nearby, while newer neighbourhoods stretch north toward Gatineau Park.
It has a large English-speaking community alongside French speakers, which makes it a comfortable choice for many seniors moving from Ottawa.
