Sector A, Brossard
Brossard’s sector A has 36 official streets whose names start with A, from first names such as Alfred or Alma to places such as Alsace or Athens. It has five parks, including Saint-Alphonse park with its outdoor pool, and Sainte-Claire elementary school. It matches the former Saint-Alphonse and Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur neighbourhoods.
Why do the streets in sector A start with A?
Brossard is divided into sectors, and each sector has its letter: almost all of its streets start with it. The system goes back to the 1960s master plan drawn up by the engineering firm Beauchemin, Beaton et Lapointe, so people could find their way in a city without a grid. The big boulevards cross several sectors and do not follow the letter. In sector A, the Commission de toponymie notes it on each street’s official record. [1, 6]
What was sector A before?
According to the history of Brossard published by the city in 1984, sector A matches the former Saint-Alphonse and Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur neighbourhoods. Saint-Alphonse park, on avenue d’Athènes, still carries the name. [6]

Which schools serve sector A in 2026-2027?
French schools (CSSMV) located in the sector
| School | Address | Level |
|---|---|---|
| École Sainte-Claire Brossard | 6175, avenue Aumont | Elementary |
The neighbourhood school depends on the exact address, not the sector: a school inside the sector does not necessarily serve all its streets. Check your address with the CSSMV before choosing a house for a school. [5]
