Planning an event in Gatineau

• Alcohol: a licensed venue covers the bar. Anywhere else (a hall, a park, an office) needs a permis de réunion (event permit to sell or to serve) from Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux (RACJ). Timing: at least 15 days ahead (30 days for outdoor public events and major holidays). The legal drinking age in Quebec is 18.
• Sales tax: 5% GST plus 9.975% QST (14.975%) on food, drinks, room rental and services. The budget calculator applies it when Gatineau is selected.
• Capacity: the occupant load posted in the room is the legal maximum. Check your layout with the capacity calculator.
• Outdoor events: parks, tents and amplified sound need approval from the municipality; ask early, because noise exemptions and tent permits take weeks.
• Site visits: bring the 25-question venue tour checklist.
