During a Franco-Ontarian history segment broadcast on Radio-Canada, Diego Elizondo highlighted the creation of our Vanier Museum Park, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The program aired on Monday in Ottawa-Gatineau and Sudbury, notably on Les matins d’ici and Le matin du Nord.
The segment traces the conditions that led to the museum’s creation and also touches on an aspect of Franco-Ontarian history in Vanier. It features interviews with Yannick Labossière, curator of the Muséoparc, and Madeleine Meilleure, director of the Muséoparc from 2020 to 2025.
