Saint-Laurent

Saint-Laurent is a neighborhood in northern Montreal that spreads across a large area with residential blocks, commercial zones, and green spaces throughout. The borough contains several parks, sports facilities, and libraries distributed across the territory that serve residents' daily needs.

The territory began as a settlement in the 17th century when Jean Descarie and his family arrived and established themselves on the land. The founding of Saint-Laurent Parish in the 18th century created the first community structures that would shape the area.

The neighborhood is shaped by residents from many different backgrounds who have built communities and local businesses here. Walking through the area, you notice diverse shops, restaurants, and gathering places that reflect daily life.

The neighborhood is accessible through several major highways including routes 15 and 13 as well as the Trans-Canada Highway, which provide connections to other parts of Montreal. The road network and infrastructure make it easy to navigate through the area and reach nearby communities.

A major technology hub known as Technoparc Montreal was created and now hosts companies from different industries. The area focuses on activities in aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and clean energy solutions.
