OTTAWA, July 8, 2025 – The Vanier Museopark is proud to unveil its brand-new bilingual website, completely redesigned to provide a simpler and more user-friendly online experience. This revamp is part of the renewed momentum that has been energizing the institution since its reopening in 2023.
“This new digital platform was entirely reimagined to better serve our visitors, partners, and community,” says Annick Normand, Communications and Marketing Manager at the Vanier Museopark. “More modern, intuitive, and dynamic, the new museoparc.ca highlights the richness of Vanier’s Francophone heritage while making it easier to access our school programs, museum exhibitions, and various activities.”
The redesign, carried out by KB Media, focused on three main objectives: modernizing the site’s visual appearance, simplifying navigation, and enhancing online visibility through SEO optimization.
“It was a real privilege to redesign the Vanier Museopark’s website,” says Jonathan Blouin, Chief Marketing Officer & Partner at KB Media. “The team gave us a lot of creative freedom. Thanks to their trust, we were able to create a more fluid, interactive, and engaging browsing experience. The new platform is very user-friendly. KB Media is proud to contribute to the online visibility of this flagship institution of Ontario’s Francophonie.”
The new interface highlights the Museopark’s four pillars—heritage, community, sugar shack, and the Sugar Festival—while adhering to accessibility standards and best practices in responsive design.
This project was made possible thanks to the support of the Government of Ontario’s Francophone Community Grants Program.

About the Vanier Museopark
The Vanier Museopark is a non-profit organization in the heart of Vanier, a working-class neighbourhood near downtown Ottawa, which celebrates the community’s rich heritage and history. Through exhibitions, talks, workshops, school programs, and interpretive tours, the Vanier Museopark helps curious people of all ages and cultures discover and learn about the habits and customs of the local Francophone community. The Vanier Museopark is Ottawa’s only French-language museum and one of the few Canadian museums devoted entirely to the Francophone community outside Quebec. The Museopark operates an authentic sugar shack in the heart of an urban maple forest, the only one of its kind in Canada. It also hosts the Sugar Festival, an annual event that promotes maple syrup culture, showcases Franco- Ontarian and Indigenous artists, and is a hugely popular family activity. Proud of its roots, the Vanier Museopark has been a fixture of the community since it was founded in 2004. www.museoparc.ca
