Canora station is a future station on the Réseau express métropolitain (REM), expected to open in October 2025. It is located in the Glenmount neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, just east of the Town of Mount Royal. The platforms are located northwest of the west portal of the Mount Royal Tunnel.
Until May 2020, Canora was a commuter rail station on Exo's Deux-Montagnes and Mascouche lines.
History
The station is located at 7300 Canora Road, immediately northwest of Jean Talon Street.
From the opening of the Deux-Montagnes Line in 1918 by the Canadian Northern Railway until the modernization of the line, which took place between 1993 and 1995, the station was called Portal Heights because of its location at the northwest end of the Mount Royal Tunnel. At the reopening, the station was renamed Canora, a portmanteau of Canadian Northern Railway (CaNoRa), in tribute to the line's founder.
Since opening, the station has been valued by the residents of not only the town of Mont-Royal, but also by those of the Côte-des-Neiges borough, for its fast connection with downtown via the tunnel.
As part of the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) project to convert the Deux-Montagnes line to rapid-transit operation, a connecting station was to be built on the Saint-Jérôme line adjacent to Canora across Rue Jean-Talon.[1]
Starting in May 2018, due to the four year process of being converted to light rapid transit operation, only one of the station's two platforms was being used for travel in both directions; the same was true for its neighbouring outbound station, Mont-Royal. The station was fully closed on May 11, 2020, in order to be converted into a REM station.[2] It was slated to reopen in 2024,[3] then it was later pushed back on October 2025.[4]
