'''Ville-Marie''' is the name of a [[Montreal borough|borough]] (''[[arrondissement]]'') in the centre of [[Montreal]], Quebec. The borough is named after [[Fort Ville-Marie]], the French settlement that would later become Montreal (now [[Old Montreal]]), which was located within the present-day borough. Old Montreal is a [[National Historic Site of Canada]]. |
||
The borough comprises all of [[downtown Montreal]], including the [[Quartier des spectacles]]; [[Old Montreal]] and the [[Old Port of Montreal|Old Port]]; the [[Centre-Sud]] area; most of [[Mount Royal Park]] as well as [[Saint Helen's Island]] and [[Île Notre-Dame]]. |

The borough council of Ville-Marie differs from other borough councils in two important respects. The office of borough mayor, rather than being elected by the borough's citizens, is held ''ex officio'' by the [[mayor of Montreal]]. Also, two of the members of the borough council are city councillors from other boroughs, chosen by the mayor. This governing structure is due to the unique status of Ville-Marie as the centre of Montreal. |
|||
Following the [[Montreal municipal election, 2017|2017 Montreal municipal election]], the Ville-Marie borough council contains the following members: |

As of 2009, the office of borough mayor, rather than being elected by the borough's citizens, is held ''ex officio'' by the [[mayor of Montreal]]. Also, two of the members of the borough council are city councillors from other boroughs, chosen by the mayor. |
|||
Rather than a dedicated borough hall, the borough's offices and council chambers are located in the [[Place Dupuis]] office tower at 800 De Maisonneuve Boulevard East. |

||
This governing structure is due to the unique status of Ville-Marie as the centre of Montreal. |
|||
====Former council composition==== |
|||
Up until the [[Montreal municipal election, 2009|2009 municipal election]], Ville-Marie's borough council had a structure more similar to other boroughs, consisting of a borough mayor, two city councillors, and two borough councillors, all of whom were elected by residents of the borough. |
|||
When the 2009 election was called, the borough council consisted of the following councillors: |
|||
* Borough mayor: [[Benoit Labonté]] (Vision Montreal) |
|||
* Sainte-Marie—Saint-Jacques: City Councillor: Sammy Forcillo (Union Montreal); Borough Councillor: Pierre Mainville (Projet Montréal) |
|||
* Peter-McGill: City Councillor: Catherine Sévigny (Union Montreal); Borough Councillor: Karim Boulos (Independent) |
|||
The 2009 election saw the coming into force of Bill 22 (2008), [http://www2.publicationsduquebec.gouv.qc.ca/dynamicSearch/telecharge.php?type=5&file=2008C19A.PDF ''An Act to amend various legislative provisions concerning Montréal.''] As a result, the borough council now consists of the mayor of Montreal; three elected city councillors representing the districts of Peter-McGill, Sainte-Marie, and Saint-Jacques; and two city councillors representing other districts in Montreal, chosen by the mayor. |

Ville-Marie is the name of a borough (arrondissement) in the centre of Montreal, Quebec. The borough is named after Fort Ville-Marie, the French settlement that would later become Montreal (now Old Montreal), which was located within the present-day borough. Old Montreal is a National Historic Site of Canada.
The borough comprises all of downtown Montreal, including the Quartier des spectacles; Old Montreal and the Old Port; the Centre-Sud area; most of Mount Royal Park as well as Saint Helen's Island and Île Notre-Dame.
In 2016, it had a population of 89,170 and an area of 16.5 square kilometres (6.4 sq mi).[4]
It is bordered by the city of Westmount (along Atwater Avenue) to the west and the boroughs of Le Sud-Ouest (along the Autoroute Ville-Marie, Guy and Notre-Dame streets, and the Bonaventure Autoroute) to the southwest, Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (along the CP rail lines) to the east, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal (along Sherbrooke, University streets, and Pine and Park avenues) to the northeast, and Outremont and Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (along the border of Mount Royal Park) to the north. It is bounded on the south by the Saint Lawrence River.

As of 2009, the office of borough mayor, rather than being elected by the borough's citizens, is held ex officio by the mayor of Montreal. Also, two of the members of the borough council are city councillors from other boroughs, chosen by the mayor.
Rather than a dedicated borough hall, the borough's offices and council chambers are located in the Place Dupuis office tower at 800 De Maisonneuve Boulevard East.
This governing structure is due to the unique status of Ville-Marie as the centre of Montreal.
The borough is divided among the following federal ridings:
It is divided among the following provincial electoral districts:
