Origin of the name Jean-Drapeau

The initial name of this station - Ile-Sainte-Hélène - has been changed for Jean-Drapeau in May 2000.

Jean Drapeau (1916-1999), mayor of Montreal 1954-7 and 1960-86, oversaw many pivotal events in Montreal's 20th century history, including the inauguration of Place des Arts, Expo 67 and the 1976 Olympics; the annexation of Rivière-des-Prairies, Saraguay, Ville Saint-Michel, and Pointe-aux-Trembles; and not least the construction of the metro. The Parc des Iles, and consequently metro Ile Sainte-Hélène, were renamed in his honour in 2001.
