43_91	is characterized by several prominent boulevards where commercial activity is concentrated. This
43_92	design element also traces its history back to the earliest urban design planning native to Canada.
43_93	NDG is almost exclusively residential and institutional in nature, defined in part by major
43_94	Anglophone civic institutions anchoring its eastern and western ends. These are the MUHC hospital
43_95	at the Glen Yards, adjacent to the Vendome intermodal station and the Loyola campus of Concordia
43_96	University (situated next to the Montreal-West commuter rail station, respectively). Public
43_97	schools, libraries, places of worship, parks, playgrounds, and public athletic facilities,
43_98	including a local chapter of the Montreal YMCA, are distributed throughout the area. Housing tends
43_99	towards the antique, with much of the construction occurring between 1910 and 1940 and providing a
43_100	unique mix of Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Beaux-Arts influences on traditional Quebecois
43_101	architectural styles. There a variety of housing styles found in the borough, though the dominant
43_102	and favored style remains the red brick duplex row-house. Adding to its residential appeal, the
43_103	community is well known for its tree-lined streets and general walkability.
43_104	An important housing project is situated near the geographical center of NDG on Cavendish
43_105	Boulevard, which bisects the borough into its eastern and western halves. The Benny Farm housing
43_106	project was built to serve the needs of veterans returning from Second World War service, though
43_107	was later designated as subsidized housing. The housing and surrounding landscaping was
43_108	rehabilitated in the early 2000s, with new low-cost housing and additional public facilities built,
43_109	such as the Benny Farm CLSC (a community center with many social services including a clinic run by
43_110	the provincial health ministry).
43_111	The Décarie Expressway trench and the mainline of the Canadian Pacific railway each forms barriers
43_112	that arguably disrupt the cohesiveness of the borough. As such, sections of NDG have unique
43_113	characteristics and be characterized as well-defined neighborhoods. As an example, the sliver of
43_114	NDG running between the rail line and the Saint-Jacques Escarpment (from Cavendish Boulevard to the
43_115	Décarie Expressway) is known as St. Raymond's and has a strong association with Montreal's Italian
43_116	community. Another section, separated from the rest of NDG by a highway trench and sharing a border
43_117	with Westmount, is closer to where the village of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce was founded, and as such is
43_118	occasionally referred to as 'Old NDG'.
43_119	NDG first rose to prominence as an important middle-class suburb towards the end of the 19th
43_120	century, initially populated by the (then) new white-collar workforce of the Canadian metropolis
43_121	and accessible via tramways running to and from the city center. As widespread suburbanization
43_122	developed in the post-WW2 period, NDG became home to successive waves of immigrants, first from
43_123	Eastern Europe (including a sizeable Jewish population), then from the Caribbean, and more recently
43_124	from Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Concurrently, Anglophone Montrealers consolidated
43_125	in the West End broadly speaking, with Montreal's Irish and Black communities shifting away from
43_126	their traditional neighborhoods (Griffintown and Little Burgundy respectively) and taking a more
43_127	prominent position within the demographics of the area.
43_128	Today NDG is a cosmopolitan mixed-income urban neighborhood highly sought after by young
43_129	professionals. The multitude of services, including parks and other green spaces, schools, clinics,
43_130	and major institutions, make it an ideal neighborhood to raise a family close to the center of the
43_131	city of Montreal and its Central Business District. The vintage and antique housing is generally
43_132	well kept and the aesthetic of the early 20th-century first-ring suburb has been preserved.
43_133	Additionally, NDG is well-served by public transit, including numerous bus lines, two Métro, and
43_134	two commuter train stations, allowing the area to be one of the most 'walkable' in the entire city.
43_135	Sports and recreation
43_136	NDG is well known for many large parks including NDG Park (known as Girouard Park), Loyola Park,
43_137	and Trenholme Park. The area has three indoor hockey arenas: the public Doug Harvey Arena (formerly
43_138	Confederation Arena) and the private Lower Canada College High School and Concordia University (Ed
43_139	Meagher Arena) rinks. NDG is also home to the NDG YMCA, which includes a pool, gym, and recreation
43_140	programs for youth and adults.
43_141	The NDG Senior Lynx made it to Little League Baseball's Senior League World Series in 2011 and
43_142	2012, representing the region of Canada.
43_143	NDG is home to the Montreal Exiles Rugby Football club (www.montrealexiles.com) who have mini-rugby
43_144	teams (NDG Dragons) at U-6, U-8, U-10 U-12 and U-14 levels, Junior rugby at U-18 and senior men's
43_145	rugby. Founded in 2011, the senior men's side featured in the provincial finals in 2011, losing to
