About Côte-des-Neiges
Where diversity is a strength
A neighbourhood of newcomers, students and large institutions (universities, hospitals, etc.), Côte-des-Neiges is one of Montreal’s most populated neighbourhoods. Its strong social and cultural diversity translate into both great potential and a great challenge when it comes to getting people to come together around common goals. The inclusion of newcomers in their new society, access to decent housing and quality jobs are core issues for this neighbourhood. Côte-des-Neiges wants to inspire other neighbourhoods by giving everyone a voice to improve people’s living conditions.
