Terrasse-Vaudreuil
Terrasse-Vaudreuil is a small municipality on Île Perrot, just west of Montreal Island in Quebec, Canada. Attractions nearby include Le Faubourg de l'Île, the Terrasse-Vaudreuil baseball field, the soccer field, the municipal pool and POLYMOS, a styrofoam company that operates out of an area where gunpowder was produced during World War II. What started as a small cottage community has now evolved into miniature suburbia. Both entrances and exits of Terrasse-Vaudreuil are blocked by CP/CN train tracks, which has caused frustration in the past to residents. However, Terrasse does enjoy a beach that looks  out onto Dorion and the Taschereau Bridge. History. At the beginning of the 20th century, Terrasse-Vaudreuil was the site of a large powder magazine. In 1948, its post office opened under the name Terrasse-Vaudreuil, in reference to its location on Lake of Two Mountains and its view towards Vaudreuil Bay and the town of Vaudreuil. In the 1950s, it began to see rapid residential development. The municipality was formed in 1952 when it separated from the Parish Municipality of Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot. In 1963, the post office closed. Local government. List of former mayors: Education. Commission  Scolaire des Trois-Lacs operates Francophone schools. Lester B.
