Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce is Montreal's most populous borough. Vibrant and welcoming, known for its cultural and human diversity, it brings together communities from around the world, creating a rich mosaic of languages, traditions and flavors. Its educational and health institutions, local businesses and bustling streets are complemented by parks and green spaces that encourage people to come together. Here, families, students, seniors and newcomers make this borough their home. CDN–NDG is a mirror of our Montreal society. Although more than 130 languages are spoken here, we take care of each other through a universal language.
