[edit] Geography

The district includes the Borough of Montreal North, the western part of the neighbourhood of Rivière-des-Prairies in the Borough of Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles, and the eastern part of the neighbourhood of Sault-au-Récollet in the Borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville.

The neighbouring ridings are Ahuntsic, Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, Honoré-Mercier, and Alfred-Pellan.

[edit] History

The electoral district of Hochelaga was created in 1966 from Mercier and Laval ridings. The name comes from a street running through the three neighbourhoods which is named after Henri Bourassa.

The name of the riding was changed to "Montreal—Bourassa" in 1971.

In 1976, Montreal—Bourassa was abolished when it was redistributed into a new "Bourassa" riding and Saint-Michel riding. The new Bourassa riding was created from parts of Montreal—Bourassa, Ahuntsic and Anjou—Rivière-des-Prairies ridings.
