Valley East (Vallée-Est in French) is a district of the city of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.

Contents

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 Mike Parent, René Lapierre, and Natalie Labbée.
