Sainte-Thérèse-de-la-Gatineau (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t teʁɛz la ɡatino]) is a municipality in the Outaouais region of Quebec, Canada. Located between the Gatineau River and Thirty-One Mile Lake, it is the smallest municipality in terms of population in the La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau Regional County Municipality.

History

It takes its name from the Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus Parish, formed in 1934, which in turn was named after Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus (1873–1897).[4] In 1946, the Municipality of Sainte-Thérèse-de-la-Gatineau was formed when it separated from the Township of Cameron.[5]
