'Montmorency' is a station on the Orange Line of the Montreal Metro in Laval, Quebec, Canada. It is part of the extension of this line to Laval and opened on April 28, 2007, becoming the northern terminus of the Orange Line. With the addition of the new metro stations, the Montreal Metro system is expecting to see a huge jump in the number of passengers carried throughout the system year round, and pundits believe it may rise from 785,000 daily passenger trips to over 800,000.
