Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Vanier is a neighborhood in the Rideau-Vanier Ward of the east end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Historically francophone and working class, the neighborhood was a separate city until being amalgamated into Ottawa in 2001. It no longer has a majorly francophone population. By 2012 its francophone population had shrunk to less than 40% from 63% in the early 1980s. The neighborhood is located on the east bank of the Rideau River, across from the neighborhoods of Lowertown and Sandy Hill, and just south of Rockcliffe Park, New Edinburgh, Lindenlea, and Manor Park. To the east of Vanier are the suburbs of Gloucester. Vanier has a relatively small area with a high population density.
