On June 21, 2021, the city was struck by an EF2 tornado, killing one person.
Infrastructure
Montréal/Mascouche Airport, the largest regional airport in Quebec, was three kilometres southeast of the city. It has now been replaced by the CentrOparc, a business district with the ambition of joining a transit-oriented urban development (DOT).
Autoroutes 640 and 25, both major national transportation routes, meet just south of the centre of the city.

L'Étang-du-Grand-Coteau, an urban park situated in the city centre on Mascouche Boulevard, has the same area as Mount Royal Park in Montreal.
