Côte Saint-Luc

Côte Saint-Luc (French pronunciation: [kot sɛ̃ lyk])[note 1] is a city on the Island of Montreal in Quebec, Canada.

[8] Throughout the 1920s, the town grew quickly and accepted many immigrant populations leaving Montreal, notably German-Jewish and British families.

[8] According to the Office québécois de la langue française, Côte Saint-Luc has been officially recognized as a bilingual municipality[14][15] since 2005.

In 2008–2009, the Montreal Fire Department implemented an island-wide first responder system set to replace the Côte Saint-Luc EMS; however, the city fought to keep their system and private member's bill was passed in the National Assembly of Quebec to exclude Côte Saint-Luc from the Montreal Fire Department.

[citation needed] The Cavendish Mall was once the city's central hub, housing stores like Steinberg's, Eaton's and Discus.

There are a number of private schools in the city, including JPPS–Bialik, Hebrew Academy, École Maïmonide and Yeshiva Yavne.

Former residents of Côte Saint-Luc include politician and lawyer Irwin Cotler, actor William Shatner, and poet Irving Layton.
