Saint-Michel (Montreal), Quebec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint-Michel is a neighbourhood in the Montreal borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension. Its boundaries corresponds to the former city of Saint-Michel-de-Laval, which was annexed to Montreal in 1968. This was one of the last cities to be merged into Montreal until the 2002 municipal mergers. Two municipal electoral districts (François-Perreault and Saint-Michel) are in the neighbourhood.
Saint-Michel is the home of The Cirque Du Soleil headquarters, the Tohu, la Cité des Arts du Cirque and the Complexe environnemental Saint-Michel. The former Miron and Francon quarries are also located here.
Since the 1990s, Saint-Michel has experienced severe street gang problems and regurarily ranks as one of Montreal's most dangerous places.
Saint-Michel is mainly served by the blue line of the Montreal Metro although some metro stations from the green and orange lines do have buses that pass through the neighbourhood. Metro stations that are physically located within the neighbourhood are D'Iberville station (only one entrance, the other entrance being in nearby Villeray) and the whole Saint-Michel station.
