Sector B, Brossard
Sector B has the most streets in Brossard: 63 official streets starting with B. Many honour writers and composers, from Balzac to Beethoven and Brahms. It has 18 parks, including Vanier park, the best equipped on the city’s list, and Georges-P.-Vanier elementary school.
Why do the streets in sector B start with B?
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 B, the Commission de toponymie notes it on each street’s official record. [1, 6]
What was sector B before?
According to the history of Brossard published by the city in 1984, sector B matches the former Vanier and Southgate neighbourhoods. Vanier park and Georges-P.-Vanier school still carry the name. [6]
