Verdun

To live in Verdun is to enjoy the beauty of the river and make the most of the borough’s green spaces and vibrant urban scene. 

The 69,000 or so Verdunites are a short ride from downtown thanks to the borough’s three metro stations. 

Active transportation is also popular in Verdun, where cyclists, pedestrians and skateboarders make full use of its 27 kilometres of bike paths, 9.5 kilometres of pedestrian paths, and 15 kilometres of shoreline.

Verdun, a borough since 2002, is a mainly residential community steeped in a rich history dating back to the founding of New France. 
What’s more, recent archeological digs near Maison Nivard-De Saint-Dizier revealed that the occupation of the Verdun shoreline by First Nations stretches back 5,500 years.
