Le Gardeur, Quebec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Le Gardeur was a town in southwestern Quebec, Canada on the L'Assomption River in the Regional County Municipality of L'Assomption, and connected to Montreal by Quebec route 138, Quebec Autoroute 40, and VIA Rail on the Canadian National rail line.
It has been recently incorporated into the city of Repentigny after a province-wide city merger program and is now called District de Le Gardeur. The city's main population is concentrated near the L'Assomption River in the southernmost part of the city, bordering the city of Repentigny, and the Saint Lawrence River. The northern part is mostly farmland, and is being developed as a suburban area. This is where the March 2006 announced AMT Repentigny-Mascouche Line commuter train service that is scheduled to begin service in 2008 will turn off the existing Canadian National line onto its own right of way heading towards Terrebonne.
According to the 2001 Statistics Canada Census:
- Population: 17,668
- % Change (1996-2001): 4.8
- Dwellings: 6,166
- Area (km².): 37.29
- Density (persons per km².): 473.9
