Historic Sites of Manitoba: General Vanier School (18 Lomond Boulevard, Winnipeg)Link to: This school, located in the Windsor Park area of St. Boniface, was named for Canadian Governor-General Georges Philias Vanier (1888-1967). Built in 1962, students attended temporary classes in six unused classrooms at Beliveau School until its completion. In 1964, school capacity was expanded to 12 classrooms at a cost of $180,000 based on designs of local architect Etienne J. Gaboury. A plaque installed in June of 2000 on the south side of the school commemorates the completion of a playground project. It is operated by the Louis Riel School Division. Principals
