With this photograph, we are launching a new series, in collaboration with Vanier’s Muséoparc, sharing one image each month from the museum’s extensive photo collection and archives. Special thanks to the museum’s researcher, Yanick Labossière, and museum’s curator, Janik Aubin-Robert, for making this possible.

50 years ago this month, in January 1963, local officials were proud to see their “Town of Eastview” formally incorporated as the “City of Eastview,” an acknowledgement of the community’s prominence. Six years later, the City would become known as Vanier, all the while retaining the same boundaries from the time the Village of Eastview was created in 1909, to the City`s amalgamation with Ottawa in 2001.
