"Since 1938 the Federal District Commission has been acquiring land on the high spur of the Laurentian Hills between the Gatineau and Ottawa Rivers for the purposes of a national park. This area is mainly wooded and supports our native flora and fauna. In recent years by prohibiting hunting and trapping it has become a sanctuary for fur bearing animals such as deer, fox, beaver, mink and raccoon."
"Ultimately Gatineau Park will comprise about 50,000 acres of which 24,729 acres have been acquired up to December 31, 1949.. (From:" Federal District Commission Annual Report" 1949, page 15/75.)
