"As a sustainable municipal territory, we are committed to providing our residents with a community that is not only friendly, prosperous, inclusive and respectful of the environment, but also healthy and safe. The health crisis we have been facing for the past year and a half reminds us how important it is to protect our health and promote healthy living habits on a daily basis. This partnership with the CIUSSS-NIM is therefore an obvious way to further improve our respective actions and communications for the benefit of our populations."

Alan DeSousa, Mayor of Saint-Laurent

"This partnership, officially established in November 2020, is an advantageous opportunity to inform the population of the services and activities offered by both the CIUSSS NIM and Arrondissement de Saint-Laurent. We will be pooling our expertise and communication channels to provide information and activities in line with our respective missions. And all these efforts will benefit the users in our various sectors."

About Arrondissement de Saint-Laurent

A city established in 1893, Saint-Laurent became one of Montréal's 19 boroughs in 2002. Located north of the island of Montréal, the Arrondissement Saint-Laurent is the largest of all, with its 42.8 square kilometres. Its population of over 100,000 is one of the most multicultural. Having become a "sustainable municipal territory" in 2019, Saint-Laurent places sustainable development?and environment protection, in particular?at the heart of all its decisions: a challenge that is all the greater since more than 70% of its territory is devoted to industrial and commercial activities, with over 4500 companies and 110,000 jobs. In fact, it is home to one of Québec's main industrial and technological hubs. Already boasting great accessibility to the main highways and public transit, Saint-Laurent is getting ready to welcome 5 train stations within the new Réseau express métropolitain (REM) light rail network. And last but not least, with its two libraries, its Centre des loisirs (recreation centre), its modern Complexe sportif, its arena and some 50 parks, Saint-Laurent offers a wide range of services in many areas of activity, such as culture, sports and recreation. In this way, the Arrondissement Saint-Laurent ensures a high quality of life in the borough for families and a stimulating environment for businesses.
