Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount
federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada (Since 2015)
Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount is a federal electoral district on the Island of Montreal in Quebec.
History
The riding was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution out of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine (40%), Westmount—Ville-Marie (59%) and Outremont (1%). and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 2015 Canadian federal election.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, it lost the territory south of Boul. Décaire and west of Ch. Côte-Saint-Luc to Mount Royal and gained the territory west of Rue Notre-Dame and Av. Atwater from Ville-Marie—Le Sud-Ouest—Île-des-Sœurs.
Geography
The riding includes the towns of Westmount and Montreal West as well as the neighbourhood of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce in the borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, and a small part of the borough of Ville-Marie surrounding Îlot-Trafalgar-Gleneagles in Montreal.
In the last few elections, the Liberals have dominated throughout the riding, winning a majority of the vote in every neighbourhood.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount” as federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada (Since 2015). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada (Since 2015). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17044892. Authority coordinates are 45.467, -73.617. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2022.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
