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, 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, Mike Jakubo and René Lapierre.
Blezard Valley is located in the geographic township of Blezard, and was named in the 1880s for Thomas Blezard.
The township of Hanmer has been in existence since the early 1900s.
Notable residents of Val-Caron include former NHL player Ron Duguay, and NHL hockey player Andrew Brunette. Address and telephone service in Val-Caron also includes the smaller neighbourhoods of Flake, Guilletville, Laurentian and McCrea Heights.
