Ahuntsic-Cartierville Borough

Ahuntsic

---

Ahuntsic and Cartierville are located at the extreme north of Montreal.

Both districts have an easy access to Laval, a populated and commercial suburb located across the Back River.

With a population of 375,000 or so, Laval has become a key centre of economic activity.

There are approximately 11,000 businesses established in Laval that employ no less than some 125,000 people.

The CP, the the Canadian Pacific Railway contributed to the economic development of the territory.

The CP also created a physical barrier between A in the East and C in the West.

The expansion of the district started with the waterway transport on the Rivière-des-Prairies. It happened at the beginning of the colony and continued with the opening of the Montreal Metro in 1967.

Centre North

There’s always been a strong religious presence in the Centre North of the district.

Many health and scholar establishments now occupy buildings that were built years ago by religious communities.

Among them, the Mont-Saint-Louis on Henri Bourassa, Sophie-Barat on Gouin East, André-Grasset on Crémazie, the College on Saint-Hubert and the Centre de santé et de services sociaux also on Gouin East.

North East

The history of the North East goes a long way.

There are still many historical houses that remind us of a life that thrived around the mills along the road leading to the Île-de-la-Visitation, now a regional park.

The island is the site of a 34-hectare nature park, as well as of the remaining buildings of the historic Sault-au-Récollet. The most important concentration of historic houses is found in this district.

South West and South East

The South West is a strong industrialized sector with very little green areas and a high concentration of immigrants.

In the South East, 99% of the residences were built after 1960. It is the only sector that experienced such a swift expansion.

Thank you for visiting A.
More to come soon.
