of [[Montreal]], in southwestern [[Quebec]], Canada on the [[North Shore (Laval)\|north shore]] of the [[Rivière des Mille-Îles]] in the [[Thérèse-De Blainville Regional County Municipality]]. There are no industries and only a very limited commercial district (comprising one medical ~~center~~centre, one shopping mall, a golf course, a gym, a supermarket and arena); almost all houses are of the detached type. Furthermore, a large portion of the town territory is set aside as wild forest (Forêt du Grand Côteau); some [[bicycle\|bike]]/[[ski]] trails run through it. The town is divided into two areas, Uptown and Downtown (or ''Lorraine en haut'' and ''Lorraine en bas'', colloquially, because the northern area is on higher ground). These two areas are also delimited by Quebec freeway [[Autoroute (Quebec)#Autoroute 640\|A-640]], and are only joined together by the main street (Boulevard de Gaulle) overpass. Lorraine has earned a reputation for high -end homes with pristine lawns. Due to the heat and humidity of summers in the region, ~~a large number~~many of these properties have in ground swimming pools in backyards. The town prides itself with completely underground utility networks apart from a small older section of the town (Avenue Fraser, Mey and Bruyeres in particular). The absence of telephone and electric poles contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the municipality. The town was founded February 4, 1960 and is named for the French region of [[Lorraine ~~(région)~~\|the same name]]. The town is the territory of the Roman Catholic parishal community of Charles-de-Foucault (old parish), part of the (new) Saint-Luc parish of the Terrebonne pastoral region of the Saint-Jérôme [[diocese]]. The town is now part of the [http://www.parl.gc.ca/Parliamentarians/en/constituencies/Therese-De-Blainville(649) Thérèse-De Blainville federal electoral district] ([[Marc-Aurèle-Fortin (electoral district)\|Marc-Aurèle-Fortin federal electoral district]]) and [[Blainville (provincial electoral district)\|Blainville provincial electoral district]]. It makes district 22 of the Seigneurie-des-Milles-Îles French school board and is part of district 8 of the Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier English school board. Lorraine is also a member of the Montreal Metropolitan Community. The town has three elementary schools: École Le Carrefour and École Le Tournesol, which are very close to each other but separated by [[Parc Lorraine]], as well as École du Ruisselet. ==History== This town was founded in 1960 on the Garth estate, land which would have served as the headquarters of the British army during the Patriote rebellion in 1837. Maison Garth, built-in 1833, is listed as a historic monument, although still in use. This model residential community was founded as part of a federal program of the defunct Ministry of Urban Affairs, which encouraged the creation of “new towns”. ==Education== The ''[[Commission scolaire de la Seigneurie-des-Mille-Îles]]'' (CSSMI) operates Francophone public schools.<ref>"[http://www.cssmi.qc.ca/pages/admission-et-inscription-0 Admission et inscription] {{webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150131050808/http://www.cssmi.qc.ca/pages/admission-et-inscription-0 \|date=2015-01-31 }}."
