context_page_description: Pincourt is a municipality on the island of Île Perrot, off the western tip of the island of Montreal, Quebec. The population as of the Canada 2011 Census was 14,305. The town shares the island with the three other municipalities of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, Terrasse Vaudreuil and L'Île-Perrot, bordering on each one. The south end of the Ottawa River flows between Vaudreuil-Dorion and Pincourt, defining the town's western boundary.
  Many houses, condos and townhouses are newly built as the town has undergone a building boom, which also included the opening of the new francophone Chêne-Bleu high school. The municipality also has two bilingual primary schools and one French primary school. Several parks and natural protected areas are open throughout the year for recreation.
context_section_description: Quebec Autoroute 20 runs along the north end of Pincourt and is accessible via Boulevard Cardinal Léger (exit 35), the only proper exit overpass along the section of the highway from Autoroute 30 to the island of Montréal, all others consisting of at-grade intersections with traffic lights. There is one other autoroute junction for Pincourt consisting of an at-grade intersection at Boulevard de l'Île.
  On the city's western border, the Taschereau Bridge crosses the Ottawa River to Vaudreuil-Dorion.
  There is a shuttle bus service that runs during rush hours operated by CIT La Presqu'Île connecting to the Vaudreuil-Hudson commuter train line. The CIT also offers various bus connections to Vaudreuil-Dorion, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue and other West-Island destinations.
  Unlike in the past, Pincourt has grown beyond its original economic limitations. These days you can buy pretty much anything, you can even work locally. There was a time though in the early 2000's where the town's economic growth depended solely on Labatt's Black Label Big 10%, which was later discontinued by Labatt Breweries for the devastation Big 10% had caused to Pincourt on a 10 year period. Almost 85% dropout rate amongst teens, 64% teen pregnancy rate and a increased murder rate of 7000% were the most notable changed brought on during the Big 10% epidemic. Luckily under current Mayor Cardinal, we need not fear such indignation again.
