Inauguration of New REM Stations – What To Expect

The City of Pointe-Claire is happy to share that the REM is organizing an inauguration weekend for its four new West Island stations, including two located in Pointe-Claire: Des Sources and Fairview–Pointe-Claire. 

On Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17, visitors can use the REM free of charge from the Des Sources, Fairview–Pointe-Claire, Kirkland and Anse-à-l’Orme stations. This free access is only offered between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and applies exclusively to trips from these four new stations.

All other REM stations, including those on the Brossard and Deux-Montagnes branches, will continue to operate on their regular schedules and at current fare rates.  

Getting to the Stations for the Inauguration

REM stations are accessible by foot, bicycle, public transportation, or car.

Exceptionally for opening weekend, visitors arriving by car may use the CF Fairview Pointe Claire shopping centre parking lot, located behind the Rona hardware store. A map of the area is available to view in the REM’s latest press release.

Bike racks are also available at the station.
