Where can I find a shapefile of all the Montreal Neighborhoods?

I have two ideas:

  1. Check out the Statistics Canada site for .shp downloads. It looks like "Census Subdivisions" is what you are after, although there may be more detailed products there.
  2. An alternative is to use the ArcGIS basemaps in ArcMap (File > Add Data > Add Base Map > National Geographic). These are great for displaying down to the street level in detail (including neighborhoods)

enter image description here


This is years after the question was asked, but open data has made big progress since.

Directly from the City of Montreal website, the borough (arrondissements) polygons are available in different formats here.
