Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension

The district spans 16.5 square kilometers and contains three main neighborhoods: Villeray, Saint-Michel, and Parc-Extension, connected by tree-lined residential streets.

The transformation of this area from farmland began in 1878 with the Canadian Pacific Railway construction, followed by electric streetcars in 1892.

The borough features the TOHU circus arts center, which presents international performances and houses the National Circus School in the Saint-Michel neighborhood.

The district connects to central Montreal through multiple stations on the orange and blue metro lines, providing direct access to downtown and surrounding areas.

The former Miron quarry, spanning 192 acres, underwent conversion into an environmental complex featuring waste management facilities and green technology installations.
