Georges P. Vanier Secondary School is a high school in Courtenay, British Columbia, Canada. The school was named after Georges P. Vanier, one of Canada's most popular Governors General.
It opened in January 1968 completing a move of students from the old Courtenay Sr. high school. Vanier was built to house a capacity of 1200 students. The school population grew to 1700+ students in the early 2000s with the addition of 36 portable classrooms. This led to the opening of Mark R. Isfeld Senior Secondary School which became the third district secondary school in the early 2000s.
Vanier has primarily been the regional secondary school in the Comox Valley School District, serving students from Hornby and Denman Islands, the City of Courtenay, and the communities of Dove Creek, Merville, Black Creek, Saratoga and Miracle Beach communities up to the Oyster River which separates the Comox Valley School District from the Campbell River district.
