Sector S, Brossard
Sector S has 33 official streets starting with S, with composers such as Schubert and Stravinski, philosophers such as Socrate and Sartre, and family names. It has Saint-Laurent elementary school, Lucille-Teasdale international high school and five parks, including Sorbonne park with its splash pad.
Why do the streets in sector S start with S?
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 S, the Commission de toponymie notes it on each street’s official record. [1, 6]
What was sector S before?
According to the history of Brossard published by the city in 1984, sectors O, R and S match the former town of Brosseau-Station. [6]
