NEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDE
VANIER, OTTAWA

Vanier is a neighbourhood on the rise. With their strong community spirit, the residents are transforming their beloved Vanier into a prosperous, up-and-coming neighbourhood. Once regarded as one of Ottawa’s “rougher” areas, it now has a bright future.

Vanier has a history dating back to 1908, when three villages amalgamated to form a town called Eastview. In 1963 this became a city, owing to a large influx of French-Canadians. Three years later, it was renamed Vanier in honour of the recently deceased Governor General, Georges Vanier. It wasn’t until 2001 that the community officially became part of Ottawa, Ontario.

This is a neighbourhood that will continue to grow and prosper, making it ideal for investors or anyone looking to live in an area that is in the process of rejuvenation.

Over the last few years, people have felt the positive changes occurring in Vanier – there is a real sense of excitement in the air. Although Vanier is right next to Ottawa’s Downtown, it still has a very neighbourly ambience. You can expect to be invited to a few block parties and community events – you’ll wonder why you haven’t moved here sooner!

There is still work to do to create the Vanier that the residents envision, but they are working together to make this come true. This desire brings people together as in no other Ottawa neighbourhood.
