Ancien village devenu ville en 1912, St-Michel devient finalement un quartier du nord-est de la ville de Montréal en 1968. Le quartier est traversé par deux carrières importantes: les carrières Miron et Francon, qui ont cessé leurs activités industrielles à la fin des années 1980 et ont connu depuis un processus de reconversion pour faire place, entre autres, à des institutions culturelles et de loisirs. Traversé aussi par l’autoroute métropolitaine, le quartier s’étend sur un large territoire où vivent près de 39,700 personnes (Montréal en statistiques, 2013). St-Michel est le quartier d’accueil de plusieurs nouveaux arrivants, dont plusieurs jeunes.
Cette jeunesse micheloise, de naissance ou d’adoption, en a plein à raconter. Elle vous invite à découvrir ce à quoi son quartier lui fait penser, ce qui l’inspire, ce qui lui tient à cœur.
Pour commencer votre promenade, rendez-vous au métro St-Michel, là où l’aventure commence!
A former village which became a city of its own in 1912, St-Michel was annexed as a neighbourhood of Montreal in 1968. Located in the north-east of the city, the area intersects with the Miron and Francon quarries, both of which ceased their industrial activities at the end of the 1980s and have now gone through an intense process of conversion. Different leisure and cultural institutions are now located there. The district, which covers a large territory where nearly 39,700 people live (Montreal Statistics, 2013), is also crossed by the Metropolitan highway. Bubbling with life, St-Michel is home to many of the province’s newcomers.
The youth who live in St-Michel have many stories to tell. They invite you to discover what their neighborhood makes them think about, and what inspires and is important to them.
To begin your adventure, go to the St-Michel metro. Have a fun tour!
