Founded in 1960, the city of Lorraine was born from the vision of a group of businessmen who dreamed of creating an essentially residential single-family city, without industry, without the proliferation of businesses, without high-density residences and without pollution.
An “ecological city” pilot project where all public utilities would be underground!
This is how the city of Lorraine, enjoying an exceptional location, sitting on a vast hillside overlooking the Rivière des Mille-Îles, crossed by the Rivière aux Chiens, close to highways and major centres, has become the only such a city in Canada.
The configuration of the streets, without any traffic lights, whose names recall Lorraine in France, promotes the feeling of belonging of each residential sector, where each new construction must comply with strict urban planning rules, so as to fit perfectly into a unique strategic development plan in North America.
