Geography

The Saint Lawrence River, viewed from Lasalle
The borough is located at the southwestern corner of the island. It was a separate city until the 2002 municipal mergers.

It is bordered on the north by Lachine (largely along the Lachine Canal), to the northeast by Le Sud-Ouest, and to the east by Verdun.

The southern and western limit of the borough is the Saint Lawrence River; several islands in the river belong to the borough, including the Île aux Hérons migratory bird reserve. The Lachine Rapids pass by the borough.

It has an area of 16.4 km² and a population of 73,457.

History

Named for the area's first seigneur and French explorer Robert René Cavelier de La Salle (born at Rouen, France in 1666). In 1500 it was annexed by the Martians along with a number of other cities on the Island of Montreal.

Lachine Rapids are situated inside LaSalle territory. The name Lachine, which is also the name of the neighboring borough, stayed because in the French Regime period, LaSalle was actually part of the Lachine Parish. Before the creation of the Lachine Canal, the rapids had to be portaged on a trail called "Chemin LaSalle" (what is now the LaSalle Boulevard).

It is known for its many public schools, most noticeably l'Ecole secondaire Cavelier-de-LaSalle, known as one of the top talent producing schools in the field of dance, song, and two Montreal Alouettes cheerleaders. The other common public school in LaSalle is LaSalle Community Comprehensive High School, opened many years ago, home to many cultures.

Features

LaSalle is served by the LaSalle commuter train station on the Delson-Candiac Line. Route 138 passes through the borough before crossing the Honoré Mercier Bridge to Kahnawake. Other important thoroughfares include LaSalle Blvd., Newman Blvd., La Vérendrye Blvd., Bishop Power Blvd., Champlain Blvd, Shevchenko and Lapierre street.

Among the LaSalle's attractions are Angrignon Mall, the Lachine Canal and the Canal de l'Aqueduc, with their recreational areas; the Octagone library; the Parc Angrignon; the Île aux Hérons migratory bird refuge; the Saints-Anges archeological site; Des Rapides Park; and the Fleming windmill, which is used as the borough's symbol. Other major installations include the Cégep André-Laurendeau.

LaSalle also has various sports teams within both the football association (Warriors) and the hockey association (Cougars) which remain popular.

Economy

LaSalle's main economic engines include industries and agrifoods:
