Marc-Aurèle-Fortin is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 2004.

Geography

The district includes the neighbourhoods of Auteuil and Sainte-Rose, the eastern part of the neighbourhood of Fabreville, and the western part of neighbourhood of Vimont in the City of Laval; the City of Sainte-Thérèse; the Towns of Lorraine and Rosemère; and the Municipality of Bois-des-Filion. The neighbouring ridings are Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, Terrebonne—Blainville, Alfred-Pellan, and Vimy.

History

The district was created in 2004 from Laval Centre, Terrebonne—Blainville, Laval East and Rivière-des-Milles-Îles ridings. It is named in honour of the artist Marc-Aurèle Fortin.
