## History

[edit]

The area now known as Varennes was the northern terminus of the original Crow Wing Trail, a Red River Trail that ran down the east side of the Red River to Emerson, Manitoba. St. Vital's first livery stable was founded in the area of the intersection of St. Anne's Road and St. Mary's Road (St. Anne's Junction) by Abraham Guay, a local landowner.[2]

## Amenities

[edit]

Varennes is the home of Ecole Varennes, a French-immersion primary school administered by the Louis Riel School Division; as well as two churches, St. Mary's Road United Church and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Until the spring of 2009, Global Television's Winnipeg studios were located in Varennes. There is significant light commercial development along both St. Mary's Road and St. Anne's Road.[3]
