Mont-Tremblant

Mont-Tremblant is a city located in the Laurentides Regional County Municipality, in the Laurentides administrative region of Quebec, Canada. It takes its name from Mont Tremblant and is known as an international tourist destination, notably due to the presence of the Tremblant ski resort and Mont-Tremblant National Park.

The city is dominated by Mont Tremblant, at an altitude of 968 m, one of the highest peaks in southern Quebec.

Mont-Tremblant is now establishing itself as a tourist town with several major ski resorts, including the Tremblant resort, and numerous golf courses. Several projects are underway on the mountain, including the construction of a new tourist village on the Versant Soleil. The majority of tourists come from Ontario and New England, but the town is increasingly attracting Europeans and Asians.

The city was incorporated on November 22, 2000, following a controversial merger between the municipalities of Saint-Jovite, Saint-Jovite-Paroisse, Mont-Tremblant-Village, and Lac-Tremblant-Nord. In 2004, as part of the municipal demerger process initiated by Jean Charest, the former municipality of Lac-Tremblant-Nord expressed its desire to no longer be part of Mont-Tremblant by referendum. The other constituent municipalities rejected the idea.

The city budgeted for the 2008 fiscal year to rebuild the city hall at a cost of $7.8 million. At the time of its demolition, the old building, dating from the 1970s, was in a deplorable state.

Furthermore, on April 13, 2008, Loto-Québec confirmed the construction of its fourth casino, which opened on June 24, 2009, on the Versant Soleil site at a cost of $61 million.[2] Loto-Québec had previously announced the establishment of a Ludoplex before modifying the project to include a casino.

Despite this rapid economic growth, the city's citizens and administration want to live in harmony with nature and for the territory to remain in its wild state.
