Oka, Rural municipality in Deux-Montagnes, Quebec, Canada

The municipality of Oka stretches along Lake of Two Mountains, encompassing residential areas, forested zones, and agricultural lands across 57 square kilometers.

In 1717, the governor of New France assigned the Lac-des-Deux-Montagnes seigneury to the Séminaire de Montréal for establishing a Native people mission.

The Abbey of Notre-Dame-du-Lac, founded in 1881 by Trappist monks from France, maintains its religious traditions through contemplative practices and cheese production.

Residents and visitors can access municipal services at 183 rue des Anges or contact the administration through telephone at +1 450-479-8333.

The Montagne du Calvaire features seven oratories constructed between 1740 and 1742, forming North America's oldest pilgrimage path.
