Thank you I really enjoyed your video. I am from Montreal but because of a lack of foster homes was placed with Roger and Florence Cleroux on Shakespeare street. We later moved to Deschamps then Alfred street then Richelieu st. My brothers and Sister are Kevin, David, Steven and Lisa. We went to Assumption School on Lajoie. My Memere and Papere lived at the bottom of Monfort street.
My family moved to Vanier in 1975/76 and we lived there until 2006 after my mom passed. Great memories of that little town/city growing up there and i managed to stay close to Vanier even after all my family moved away over the years!
salut Jean ! I was in your class at Cadieux school.My father worked for Meubles Landriault on Montreal rd. These pictures bring back a ton of memories .Thanks for posting them .
Vraiment un très beau vidéo M. Ouellette. Ca montre comment était Vanier dans le temps que mes parents avait 15 ans. Ma mère habitait sur l'avenue Marquette. Bravo pour la vidéo
Thank you! I was born at Monfort hospital in '57, lived in Vanier, also known as Eastview. So I'm quite familiar with everything shown in this video. My family moved from here in 1968 to Ottawa south suburbs, in the middle of nowhere, lol! Btw it was great to view the house that I was born in and to view a general store that me and my young friends used to frequent as a children.
Btw, I recall the old gentleman as very nice and wise like a favourite grandfather, he was so nice, but he also knew how to draw the line and put his foot down with us kids, and so kind! I used to live only 4 doors away from this store at that time, it's also where I had my first sweetheart at age 7, she lived across the street from me. She was more crazy about me than I was about her, and she was very cute and attractive. She was strictly French speaking, I was perfectly bilingual, I had mastery over both languages. What happened? Lol! Her parents moved real far away. Lol!
@James T Griffith I recall the base in my time quite well too, great place to visit. I seem to recall attending profession race car competition once? They closed off the runway and redesigned it for race car events when they occurred. Me and my young friends would bicycle up there and have great views. I recall the hangers, but not open to the public to see inside back then. All the best!👍
My mother grew up on Carlota St right next to McArthur Ave and she would tell me about some of the businesses that were around during this time period. Nostalgic.
Excellent John... I delivered mail in Vanier for years and know all these neighbourhoods...amazing how some look the same...and others are now High rise Apartments...THANKS FOR THIS.
At that time, I lived above a garage at Montreal Road and Durocher. At 5, I walked alone to J.O. Swerdfager and recall the train tracks that are now the Vanier Parkway. Thanks for posting.....
Salut Jean, tu dois être parenté avec Paul. Thanks for the memories. That's my era. I've walked and played on most if not all of those streets. I was living in that funny looking house on Montfort when that picture was taken. My dad used to call it the "cheese house". I was about 12 or 13 at the time.
thank's for the picture walking, like the piano going through the notes, nothing goin' change my world, didn't think about it then, didn't think it would
That photo of "Deschamps and Derosier" is actually Deschamps and Ann street. I grew up in the upstairs apt in the house on the left right on the corner at 136 Deschamps street and was living there at age 6 when that photo was taken. How weird to see it in on YT 52 yrs later.
Any pictures or videos of the Old EastView Animal Hospital? wondering when that place came into business and cant find anything online about the building
I am wondering what else you have. My dad was professional musician living on Carillon late 1960s until his untimely death of 28yrs old in 1971. What are the odds one of these videos might have caught him (maybe his name on a marquees... he played a lot at The Alexandria Hotel (besides playing in other venues). Wayne Tender professional name Wayne Latendresse real name.
When were the red "Don't Walk" and green "Walk" phased out in the Ottawa area? I grew up elsewhere in Canada and remember there being a couple of small cities in Canada that still had them in the early 2000s.
I grew up in Vanier in the 90s. I wish I had this Vanier. It was so beautiful.

Although I was not born then, Vanier looked so beautiful then unlike now.

Just as I remember it
Thank you
Lovely lovely. Great music too
I enjoyed going down memory lane, thank you 😊
Nice, to see how a bunch of poor kids grow up learning to share life, help, and support communities. I was 11 back then. Talented pianist. Thank you

I'm living in Vanier now.
I've walked by many of these locations often.
Surprising how many buildings are unchanged,except for the signs.
Keep it "poor and french" ... The globablist-controlled city corporations leave us alone :)))
I was born there (1942) and raised there...........

La maison blanche sur Bradley c'était chez nous !! Merci Jean !
Wow, deux maisons où j'ai habité, Bradley et Carillon !
All this, and Wing's Chinese Food is *still* there and *still* looks exactly the same.
Merci de partagé très intéressant
Appropriate Muzak, warm memories! My old paper route.

Awesome
When were the red "Don't Walk" and green "Walk" phased out in the Ottawa area? I grew up elsewhere in Canada and remember there being a couple of small cities in Canada that still had them in the early 2000s.
The driveways were so so small for parking those big cars from the 60s era. 😅 Some of them hung over into the sidewalk
Hey where did you get these???? I want to get some made into prints!!
Cool
mt=y son was born on montfort st.46 years ago
