Little Italian community.[2]
Originally a part of the Saint-Michel neighbourhood, the late 1990s marked the beginning of the neighbourhood's Maghrebi flavour. This was a product of the opening of the Dar Al-Arkam Mosque on the corner of Jean-Talon and 17th Avenue and the arrival of thousands of immigrants from Algeria, Morocco, Libya, and Tunisia.[3]
Little Maghreb is served by the
Blue Line
, with the upcoming eastbound extension of the Blue Line also continuing under the district.
