Canada

Further information: Boroughs of Montreal, Boroughs of Quebec City, Boroughs of Longueuil, Boroughs of Sherbrooke, List of boroughs in Quebec

In the province of Quebec, the cities of Lévis, Longueuil, Montreal, Quebec City, Saguenay, Sherbrooke, the small town of Métis-sur-Mer, and the municipality of Grenville-sur-la-Rouge are divided into arrondissements, called boroughs in English.

Boroughs were introduced as part of the 2001–2002 municipal reorganization in Quebec, and therefore cities which were constituted before then (in their present form) do not have boroughs. For instance, Laval has sectors (secteur) and districts (quartier), but not boroughs.
