Pioneer Families of St. Joseph (Orléans) in Eastern Ontario
Excerpts from the first chapter of Robert Serré’s book
published in 2009 by the Gloucester Historical Society,
Ottawa, Canada.
In 1879, St. Joseph was described generally as a
village located on the Montreal road some ten
miles (16 km) east of Ottawa. Pioneers who settled west and south of this village, and east of the
village in Cumberland Township (concession 1 of
the old survey and concessions have been included in this book because their post office address
was given as Orléans or St. Joseph, or because
they were parishioners of St. Joseph’s Catholic
church. In the mid-1880s, about 65% of St.
Joseph’s population lived in Gloucester
Township, and 35% in Cumberland Township.
Early Settlers
St. Joseph was settled almost exclusively by French
Canadian families. This statement is quite true
when applied to the village itself,, but less true in
terms of the surrounding area that came to be
associated with the village, since pioneer families
of Irish, Scottish or English origin also settled in
the area. On the other hand, it would be quite true
to say that French Canadian and Irish Catholics
formed by far the dominant religious community
within the larger territory of the village, which
straddled the border between the townships of
Gloucester and Cumberland.
Continues on page 6
Origin of the Name
Most plausibly, the village was named SaintJoseph d’Orléans in 1860 by the first postmaster,
Théodore Besserer, after his birthplace on the
island of Orléans east of Quebec City. An 1869
directory described Orleans as a post office “in the
Township of Gloucester North”. The Ottawa
directory for 1870 listed people living in St.
Joseph. An 1882 directory had no listing for
Orléans, but gave St. Joseph as a village in the
township of Gloucester. Two years later, another
directory listed St. Joseph, but informed readers
that the name had been changed to Orléans. An
1886 directory listed Orléans, adding that it was
also known as St. Joseph.

The assessment rolls, also called collectors’
rolls, which were prepared for the Ottawa District
from 1822 to 1850 have been microfilmed]. The
earliest assessment roll which mentions residents
in the part of St. Joseph (Orléans) lying in
Cumberland Township is dated 1825. It lists
Joseph Laflamme for lots 30 and 31 and the east
half of lot 32, concession 1, old survey, with a
total of 500 acres, none cultivated. In 1826,
Laflamme had five of his 500 acres cultivated, and
there was a saw mill on his property. As for the
part of St. Joseph lying in Gloucester Township,
the earliest settler listed in the assessment rolls is
François Dupuis, for the year 1833. In 1835,
Dupuis owned lot 3, concession 1, Ottawa Front,
with fifteen of his 200 acres cultivated.
Youville Farm
In 1885, the Grey Nuns of the Cross, later known
as the Sisters of Charity of Ottawa, arrived in the
parish of Saint-Joseph d’Orléans]. They bought
more than five hundred acres of land, on lots 6, 7
and 8 in the first concession of the Ottawa Front,
“from M. Besserer, B. Cooker, Joe Prestley, Isaac
Wilson and B. Fitzsimmons”. On this property
they established a magnificent farm, the Youville
Farm. Their residence, a two-story stone building
located on the north side of the Montreal road,
about one mile (1.5 km) west of the village
church, was built in 1885-86.
In 1890, the Grey Nuns took charge of
Separate School #1 in the village of Orléans. The
farm, which covered several hundred acres, was
operated until well after the Second World War. In
1870, the former convent was sold to the firm of
Costain Homes, which used the building as an
office. (Your can read the integral first chapter of

basins are being cleaned between
clients. “They must be disinfected
after every use, as well as the jets in
the basin.”
• Never dip your feet into paraffin tubs.
“If the previous client had any type
of fungus or bacteria on their feet,
it could easily be transmitted to the
client. Ensure they use the proper
sanitary bags for your personal use.”
• Watch to see if “client after client is
being taken”without sterilizing tools
especially between false nail applications.
• No double dipping of wax sticks.“If
the wax stick has contacted any bodily
fluids during the service and is used
twice, the wax pot is immediately
contaminated.”
• Does the establishment have“BioHazard”waste disposal units for sharp
instruments that have been exposed
to bodily fluids including blood?
• Are the estheticians tools stainless steel,
rather than a porous fibre material that
may harbour bacteria and fungus?
• Does the esthetician wear gloves when providing waxing services? If she has been exposed to bodily fluids she also can be
exposed to Hepatitis B & C, therefore transmitting it to her clients.
You will find that all proper hygiene procedures
are carried out at Ezcape Spa & Salon, to make
your spa experience healthy and memorable.

A hub of artistic activity
he east end of Ottawa never fails to provide an abundance of creative talent,
whether in music, theatre, or the visual
arts. The Shenkman Arts Centre, which officially opened June 2009, has had a significant
impact on the cultural community in Ottawa
East and has helped the artistic scene to grow
considerably.
The centre, located at 245 Centrum Blvd., has
quickly become the focal point for the arts community. It features a 500-seat performing arts theatre, a 100-seat studio theatre, rehearsal studios,
art galleries and instructional spaces in its 86,000sq.-ft. space.
Five major arts organizations have been providing their arts programs and services at the centre: Arts Ottawa East, Mouvement d’implication
francophone d’Orléans (MIFO), Ottawa School
of Art Orléans Campus (formerly Visual Arts
Centre, Orléans), Orléans Young Players and the
Gloucester Pottery School.
Arts Ottawa East (www.artsoe.ca) is an arts
council that promotes the practice and appreciation of arts in the area. It can help community
members find lessons to take, studios to work in
and aid artists in finding grants. Executive
Director Christine Tremblay says AOE’s new location in the Shenkman Arts Centre has created a
beautiful location for member artists to display
T
their work. AOE’s new location provides a working, meeting and reception space for AOE and its
members, as well as office space for a contemporary dance company and other potential arts
organizations in the future.
MIFO (www.mifo.net) provides Frenchspeaking performances, classes and workshops
for all ages. It also houses a school of music. In
November, their theatre company ‘le Théâtre du
Village’ will perform «Devinez-Qui?» a play written by Sébastien Azzopardi.
The organization has significantly increased
its musical and theatre performances through
its involvement in the new arts centre. With the
centre being fully bilingual, MIFO provides
French programming and features francophone
artists.
The Ottawa School of Arts Orléans Campus
offers art lessons and has its own gallery with
monthly exhibitions at the Shenkman Arts Centre.
The Ottawa School of Art offers diploma and certificate programs, as well as a full range of community level art courses including drawing, painting, photography, new media, ceramics, sculpture,
printmaking, and a variety of specialized short
courses and workshops. The school also offers
children’s and teens’ classes ranging from multimedia to animation and cartooning, as well as

Parades and festivals
throughout the year
anta’s Parade of Lights has been illuminating
St. Joseph Boulevard for over 10 years now
and has become an evening event not to be
missed to kick-start the Christmas season.
All kinds of local groups come together for the
annual parade that features over 75 floats and
supports less fortunate families through money
and toy donations.
The Orléans Soapbox Derby similarly
announces the start of warmer weather and the
S
summertime season. The event that celebrated its
fifth birthday this past June transforms a stretch
of Orléans Boulevard into a carnival-like atmosphere with games, jumping gyms, face-painting
and other family-friendly activities.
And of course, there are the speed-seeking
youngsters who race their homemade soapbox
cars down the big hill above St. Joseph Boulevard.
Petrie Island is a major site for festivals as well.
The Greater Orléans Canada Day celebrations
mark our nation’s
birthday on July 1
each year, Haiti en
fête takes over later
in the summer, and
the newest addition
to the east end –
Carivibe – features
a parade celebrating Caribbean culture down St.

Hidden Stories
By Ken Vowles
A
fter writing many stories on the many interesting residents living at Extendicare
Laurier Manor I think it is time to tell more
of this large Long Term Care Facility that has
240 beds and is located at 1715
Montreal Road close to where Blair
Road meets Montreal Road here
in Gloucester.
This spacious care-giving
nursing home has four floors for
residing residents. The main floor
has the Kitchen, the Chapel, Recreation
area, Laundry, Administration Offices, Housekeeping
and access to the back garden. The back garden is a
showcase of beauty with places for residents to sit,
socialize and just enjoy the fresh air.
The floors are set up to accommodate residents
with different needs! The 2nd and 3rd floors are geared
to those needing more care. Some residents on these
floors have Alzheimer’s disease or some form of cognitive impairment Moreover, many residents on
these floors have physical impairments causing that
resident to need greater nursing care.
The 4th and 5th floors are planned for people
needing lighter to medium care but are capable to
perform many of their necessary daily routines.
Each floor has three types of rooms, they are the
Private, Semi-Private and Basic rooms.
All meals are prepared at Laurier Manor. Meals
are taken to each floor in heated trolleys and served
to residents at their table! There is a choice of foods
on the menu and dietary needs are carefully followed. A Dietary Manager, Dietician and Food
Service Supervisor are employed to ensure the quality and dietary needs are carefully followed.
Laurier Manor has a physiotherapy and a
Restorative Care Team.
Recreation activities are offered on a daily basis,
this includes weekends and evenings. The programs cover Social, Emotional,
Physical, Intellectual and the
Spiritual needs of residents!
Everything is covered. The
Manor has a Resident’s Council
where suggestions/concerns are
brought
forward
to
the
Administration for review and action
if needed.
A Family Community Advisory Board, made up
by next-of-kin residents, meets every two months.

$1,000.00. Many thanks to the families, friends and

French Immersion at the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board
Early French Immersion (EFI)
EFI begins in senior kindergarten with students receiving 100 per cent of their instruction
in French for the senior kindergarten and grade 1 school years.
With the introduction of English in grade 2, the French portion drops to 80 percent and
gradually diminishes to 50 per cent in grades 7 and 8.
Middle French Immersion (MFI)
MFI is offered in grade 4. In the MFI Program, French is taught for all subjects with the
exception of English Language Arts from grades 4 to 6. This means that approximately 66
per cent of instruction is in French. In grades 7 and 8, students receive 50 per cent of their
programming in French.

Orléans Star, keeps readers connected with exclusive news updates, polls, columns, an RSS feed
and much more. Residents can also sign up for an
account and have the news delivered directly to
their inbox once a day Monday through Friday.
Users are able to vote on the reader poll, read

Honesty
Have your say
Long gone are the days of just sitting back and
quietly reading the news in a passive fashion. New
technology gives readers a chance to get immediately involved in a community discussion.
Do you agree with an article? Disagree? Is there
something more you’d like to add? If so, visit
Orléans Star.ca and have your say. Whether it is E.
coli counts at Petrie Island, overcrowding at a
nearby school, troubles with graffiti, or a thumbs
up to a local volunteer, we want to hear your views.
While readers have always had the ability to
leave comments on our news site,
Transcontinental Media has made it even easier to
share opinions. Users no longer have to log into
their account to have their say. Instead, just scroll
to the end of the article; fill out the form, share
your views and hit submit.
All comments are moderated, so please keep
them clean and on topic.
