The Eastview Chronicles are back by popular demand!
This discussion group activity brings together people who have lived in Eastview – the former name of today’s Vanier neighbourhood. At these face-to-face gatherings, you’ll witness special moments and wild anecdotes from former Vanierites.
These stories are also collected by the Vanier Museopark’s team in order to preserve the French-speaking oral heritage and perpetuate its traditions for generations to come. Among the antics of our witnesses are the notorious turpitude of Curé Barrette, the mischief pulled by a gang of teenagers on the White Fathers’ grounds, the splendour of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste parades and the tales of the numerous fires that repeatedly destroyed Eastview’s infrastructure.
By actively participating in the Eastview Chronicles, you too can help perpetuate Vanier’s rich historical and cultural heritage. Don’t wait any longer and join us!
