Sainte-Dorothée (pronounced [sɛ̃tdɔʁɔte]) is a Réseau express métropolitain (REM) station in Laval, Quebec, Canada that opened on 17 November 2025.[8]

The station opened in 1995, following the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes commuter rail line, part of the Exo network. It closed in May 2020, as part of the conversion of the line to become part of the REM.

Origin of name

Sainte-Dorothée takes its name from the Sainte-Dorothée district of Laval, Quebec.

Between 1993 and 1995, prior to the modernization of the Deux-Montagnes Line, there were three stations served now by Sainte-Dorothée, from north to south: Laval-sur-le-Lac, Laval-Links, and Sainte-Dorothée. There were also plans to amalgamate Île-Bigras into this station as well, but plans were shelved after an outcry from residents of Île-Bigras.

Location

The station is located at 1411 chemin du Bord-de-l'Eau at rue Gobeil, in Laval. It is easily accessible from Autoroute 440 which, west of Autoroute 13, becomes Avenue des Bois.
