Articles & News
Ottawa's Vanier neighbourhood is a former municipality that ceased
to exist in 2001 by becoming part of the city of Ottawa, Ontario.
It is most notable for its large francophone population, and has
15,726 residents today (2006 census).
Vanier has a relatively small area with a high population density.
Montreal Road is the main thoroughfare of the community.
In 1908, the communities of Janeville, Clarkstown and Clandeboye
were joined to form the village of Eastview. In 1913, Eastview was
incorporated as a town. Originally it was a popular destination
for civil servants who wished to live at a distance from downtown.
It later saw a large influx of French Canadians and became the main
francophone area in the capital.
In 1963 it became a city, and in 1969 was renamed after the recently-deceased
Governor General of Canada, Georges Vanier.
