'''Saint-Hubert''' ({{IPAc-en|-|_|ˈ|h|juː|b|ər|t}} {{respell|-_|HEW|bərt}}, {{IPA|fr|sɛ̃t‿ybɛʁ|lang|LL-Q150 (fra)-Madehub-Saint-Hubert.wav}}, {{IPA|fr-CA|sẽɪ̯̃t͡s‿ybaɛ̯ʁ|label=[[Quebec French|locally]]}}) is a [[Boroughs of Longueuil|borough]] in the city of [[Longueuil, Quebec|Longueuil]], located in the [[Montérégie|Montérégie region]] of [[Quebec]], Canada. It had been a separate city prior to January 1, 2002, when it along with several other neighbouring [[South Shore (Montreal)|south shore]] municipalities were merged into Longueuil. Saint-Hubert had a population of 78,336 in 2006. The area of the borough is {{convert|65.98|km2|abbr=on|2}}. Longueuil's [[city hall]] is now located in Saint-Hubert. Saint-Hubert is located about {{convert|14|km|mi}} from downtown [[Montreal]].

The [[École nationale d'aérotechnique]], a school that teaches [[aeronautics]] is located in the borough and operated by [[Collège Édouard-Montpetit]].

==History==

The city's namesake is derived from [[Hubertus]], who later became commonly known as St. Hubert. It was originally established as a parish in 1860, and was granted official city status in 1958.

In 1971, the former city of [[Laflèche, Quebec|Laflèche]] (previously known as Mackayville), merged with the city of Saint-Hubert.

;October Crisis
At the height of the 1970 [[October Crisis]], Quebec [[Minister of Labour (Quebec)|Labour Minister]] [[Pierre Laporte]] was kidnapped from his [[Saint-Lambert, Quebec]] home and held at Saint-Hubert Airport. The city of Saint-Hubert, like many other Quebec municipalities, named a park in his honour, ''Parc Pierre-Laporte''.

;Recent history
In 1992, the city began work on the creation of a large park, to be known as ''[[Parc de la Cité]]''. It is located in the heart of the city and includes a one-kilometre long man-made lake.
Croydon - Was part of St-Hubert from 0 Montée St-Hubert to Orchard ( St. Andres st) to Grande Allée to Maricourt.

==Politics==

It is split between the [[Vachon (electoral district)|Vachon]] and [[Laporte (electoral district)|Laporte]] (Laflèche) provincial electoral districts. Vachon's Member of the National Assembly is [[Martine Ouellet]] of the [[Parti Québécois]]. Laporte's Member of the National Assembly is [[Nicole Ménard]] of the [[Quebec Liberal Party]].

It is composed of five municipal districts, each with a city councillor. The borough president is Lorraine Guay-Boivin of Action Longueuil.
