[edit] Origin of name

Canora takes its name from Canora Street, where the station is located.

Canora Street, in turn, takes its name from the first operator of this line, the CAnadian NOrthern RAilway, who operated the line for a short time before it was merged into CN.

Prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes Line, between 1993 and 1995, the station was called Portal Heights because of its location at the north end of the Mount Royal Tunnel.

[edit] Location

The station is located at 7300, chemin Canora. It is located between Canora and Dunkirk, at the corner of rue Jean-Talon Ouest. Coordinates: 45°30′48,84″N, 73°37′58,73″W
