While the Outaouais region is known for its natural and tourist attractions, we mustn’t underestimate its thriving arts and culture scene. As an important historical region for indigenous populations as well as a popular homebase for various communities, the Outaouais is overflowing with cultural, historical, and artistic activities for all tastes and all ages. Culture is at the heart of our regional identity and allows residents to share in important life moments, to entertain themselves and to explore new horizons, all while discovering our local talents.

These are but some of the reasons that Culture Outaouais created Tout culture, your new Outaouais cultural hub. Residents and tourists alike will be able to take stock of the Outaouais’s cultural richness thanks to this new collaborative platform.
