Urban agglomeration of Montreal

The Urban Agglomeration of Montreal encompasses the Island of Montreal and includes fifteen municipalities, covering 498 square kilometers of land and water.

The territory underwent significant reorganization in 2006 when sixteen municipalities regained their independence after a brief period of complete amalgamation with Montreal.

The Montreal Agglomeration Council coordinates services across multiple municipalities while preserving the distinct character and local governance of each community.

The agglomeration manages shared responsibilities including public transit, water resources, emergency services, and major road networks across all member municipalities.

Located within the Hochelaga Archipelago, this administrative region integrates multiple islands in the Saint Lawrence River into a single coordinated governance structure.
