Geography


The riding is located to the northeast of the Montreal region, in the Quebec region of Lanaudière. It consists of the Montcalm RCM, the city of Mascouche, and the districts of La Plaine and Lachenaie in the city of Terrebonne.


The neighbouring ridings are Joliette, Repentigny, La Pointe-de-l'Île, Honoré-Mercier, Alfred-Pellan, Terrebonne—Blainville, and Rivière-du-Nord.



History


Montcalm riding was created by the British North America Act in 1867. It was abolished in 1914 when it was merged into L'Assomption—Montcalm riding.


It was re-created in 2003 from parts of Berthier—Montcalm, Repentigny and Terrebonne—Blainville ridings.


This riding lost territory to Terrebonne and gained some territory from Repentigny during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
