Saint-Laurent, formerly the City of Saint-Laurent, is one of the largest boroughs of the city of Montreal with a population of over 80,000. It is divided into two districts, Norman-McLaren and Côte-de-Liesse.

Saint-Laurent contains two CÉGEPs, one English (Vanier College) and one French (Cégep de Saint-Laurent), showing the history of Saint-Laurent as a college town.

A widely noted art museum, the Saint-Laurent Museum of Art, is located on the campus of Cégep de Saint-Laurent, along with a bowling alley and an indoor college hockey rink.

With both French and English colleges, it also shows the ethnic diversity of the borough, with sizable French, Jewish, Romanian, South-Asian, East-Asian, Arab, Italian, Greek, and English communities.
