Valley East (Vallée-Est in French) is a district of the city of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
First incorporated in 1973 as a separate town within the Regional Municipality of Sudbury, Valley East was so named because it comprised the eastern half of the Sudbury Basin. The largest of the six towns in the Regional Municipality, it was reincorporated as a city in 1997 due to continued population growth. On January 1, 2001, the city and the Regional Municipality were dissolved and amalgamated into the city of Greater Sudbury.
Before the amalgamation, Valley East was Northern Ontario's sixth-largest city, ranking after Timmins and before Kenora. According to the Canadian census of 2001, the last one that recorded Valley East as a separate entity, the city had a population of 22,374.
In the Canada 2011 Census, Valley East's main neighbourhoods were grouped as the population centre (or urban area) of Valley East, with a population of 20,676 and a population density of 368.9/km2,[1] although the boundaries of the urban area do not correspond to those of the former municipality.
Valley East is now divided between Wards 5, 6 and 7 on Greater Sudbury City Council, and is represented by councillors Robert Kirwan, René Lapierre and Mike Jakubo .
Education
The former city houses two francophone secondary schools, as well as two anglophone secondary schools, the second of which opened after the amalgamation into Greater Sudbury.
- École secondaire catholique l'Horizon (French Catholic School - Val-Caron)
- École secondaire Hanmer (French Public School - Hanmer)
- Confederation Secondary School (English Public School - Val-Caron)
- Bishop Alexander Carter Catholic Secondary School (English Catholic School - Hanmer)
