Vanier Leisure is more than a place; it’s a vibrant community hub where every season brings new opportunities to connect, play, and grow together. At Vanier Leisure, activities are designed for everyone—families, young people, seniors, and newcomers—making it a welcoming space for all.
Programs and Activities for All Ages
One of the core strengths of Vanier Leisure is its varied program offering. Whether you love the outdoors, prefer indoor activities, or want to experience arts and culture, there’s something for everyone.
Outdoor and Indoor Activities: From tennis courts to aquatic programs, and from summer camps to winter activities, the center makes it easy to stay active year-round.
Special Events and Celebrations: Vanier Leisure organizes neighborhood parties, community festivals like "Vanier en fête!", talent shows, and surprise pop-up events that bring everyone together to celebrate and have fun.
Inclusive and Safe Ambiance: The atmosphere is always friendly, secure, and inclusive, encouraging all community members to participate and enjoy every moment.
Social Initiatives for the Community
Vanier Leisure stands out with its social and environmental initiatives, directly supporting the local neighborhood.
Eco-friendly Thrift Shop: The thrift shop encourages sustainable fashion by offering second-hand clothes for all ages. Located at 380 rue Chabot, it’s open on Mondays and Wednesdays, giving everyone a chance to renew their wardrobe while making an eco-friendly choice.
Shared Fridge Project: To support local food security, Vanier Leisure runs a community fridge at 222 avenue Ducharme. Anyone in need can help themselves to nutritious food, and anyone wishing to give back can donate essential items. It’s a small gesture that makes a big impact.
