Pointe-claire, Quebec

Pointe-Claire is a former town in southwestern Quebec; population 29,286 (Statistics Canada, 2001). Along with the other municipalities on the island of Montreal, it became merged with the city of the same name on January 1, 2002. The city's (borough's) symbol is the windmill located on the shoreline. The area remains known in the sports world for its contributions to competitive swimming, and has sent several Canadian athletes to the Summer Olympic Games. It is also the hometown of musician Sam Roberts. Recently, referendums were held in several former boroughs of Montreal to re-instate them as their own separate entities. Pointe-Claire is scheduled to be re-instated as a city on January 1, 2006.
