There are two ferry crossings within The City of Ottawa to Quebec, the
Traversiers Bourbonnais (between Masson & Cumberland in the east) and the
Quyon Ferry (to near Fitzroy Harbour in the west). The former is open year round* and the later is from April–December (according to
Wikipedia). Only the former is in the City of Gatineau (the latter is in Pontiac).
The other two nearby ferries (both east) are the
Thurso - Rockland Ferry and the
Fassett - Lefaivre Ferry. Also according to Wikipedia, both are seasonal, but the latter is replaced by an ice bridge in the winter.

If only there was a type of boat that could break ice. We could call it an icebreaker.
* According to their website, they used to use an air bubbling system to keep the river clear of ice, but now use two icebreakers.
EDIT: Here is a map I made a while back of the various Ottawa River Crossings.
