Welcome to
Le Village District
Le Village is a “main street” commercial district in the east end of Cornwall that runs along Montreal Road. It offers a diverse mix of professional offices, restaurants, retail stores and residential buildings.
Le Village has strong connections to Cornwall’s textile mills and Francophone heritage. The early nucleus of the Francophone community was Nativity Roman Catholic Church on Montreal Road which took five years to complete and was finished in 1892.
The area is in the midst of revitalization as new businesses set up shop. It is also an area with immediate access to the St. Lawrence River, attracting new residents as heritage textile mills are converted into condos.
St. Lawrence College is located at the east end of Le Village. With surging enrollment, the College is a vibrant place of learning and community activities. The campus is also home to the St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmental Sciences as well as Aultsville Theatre – a 700-seat theatre that attracts thousands of people to the area to attend dozens of shows throughout the year.
As you move further east along the Waterfront Trail you will find the NAV Centre, a sprawling convention centre overlooking the St. Lawrence River. The NAV Centre includes a great restaurant and pub, in addition to a fitness centre, indoor pool and spa to compliment over 500 guest rooms.
