[edit] History

The station is located at 7300, Canora Road, immediately west of Jean-Talon Street.

The station takes its name from Canora Road, which in turn takes its name from the first operator of this line, the CAnadian NOrthern RAilway, which built the line and operated it for a short time before it was merged into Canadian National Railway.

From the opening of the Deux-Montagnes Line in 1918 until the modernisation 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.
