Vanier Museopark

The Vanier Museopark, Preserving and Celebrating Francophone Heritage in Ottawa
The Vanier Museopark is one of 12 community museums in the city of Ottawa and one of the few francophone museums outside Quebec in Canada. Located in the middle of a 17.5-acre urban park, which has influenced its name, the Museopark enjoys an exceptional setting.

Less than 5 kilometers from the city center, Vanier is described as a francophone stronghold in Ontario, where the secret society of the Order of Jacques Cartier was created to defend the interests of French Canadians.

The Vanier Museopark offers physical and virtual exhibitions on municipal and provincial French events, talks, workshops and interpretive tours to discover the history and heritage of the surrounding neighborhood. He is also responsible for the activities of the sugar shack inherited from the Society of Missionaries of Africa (the White Fathers).
