It is home to Collège Ahuntsic and Complexe sportif Claude-Robillard. It is also known for being home to the oldest church on the island of Montreal, the Church of La Visitation-de-la-Bienheureuse-Vierge-Marie. The district is named after a person of the same name, a man from the Huron nation, who was a student and associate of the French Recollet missionary to the Hurons, Nicolas Viel, in the 1620s in the colony of Quebec. Viel was one of the first Catholic missionaries in the country of the Hurons, beginning in 1623. In May 1625, Viel decided to return to Quebec City in the company of a band of Hurons, including Ahuntsic, with the intention of making a few days' retreat and then returning to his missions. It is known that both Viel and Ahuntsic drowned in the rapids of the Rivière des Prairies, which from that time has borne the name of Sault-au-Récollet. The district of Ahuntsic is adjacent to the rapids. More information...
