École secondaire publique Louis-Riel (Louis Riel secondary school) opened in the fall of 1980. The name Louis Riel was chosen by the students in 1981.

Phase 1 of the school's construction finished in 1980, accommodating 250 students from the Gloucester region in the east end of Ottawa. Phase 2 was completed in 1982 featuring the school gymnasiums, cafeteria, and science and tech labs.

In 2003, a new annex was added, to accommodate grade 7 and 8 students. The school had previously only accommodated students from grades 9 through 12.

The school now serves approximately 915 students.

[edit] Dome

In 2005, a 12,328m² dome, North America’s largest air supported fabric structure^[1], opened to the public. The dome's construction was a joint project by the Ottawa Lions Track & Field Club and the CEPEO. Built to cover the school's existing track, the dome made it possible for Louis-Riel to offer a new Sports program to the region's students, in addition to providing extra track and field training facilities to the Ottawa Lions.

The dome contains:

• 4 lanes of 400m and 6 lanes of 110m running track
• a full size sport field (which can be divided into 3 smaller fields)
• an activity/meeting room
• 8 change rooms
• weight training room
