Lorraine Education

Highest certificate, diploma or degree for the population aged 15 and over, Census 2021. The highest-credential groups are mutually exclusive. Bachelor's degree, master's degree, and medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine sit inside “bachelor's degree or higher” and are not extra slices of the population. Shares are calculated on this site from the published counts. Statistics Canada randomly rounds census counts, so parts can miss the published total by a few people.

About Lorraine

Lorraine is a city on Montréal’s North Shore in Thérèse-De Blainville, a planned garden-city suburb between Bois-des-Filion and Rosemère—not those neighbours, and not Lorraine, France. Leafy residential streets, woodland parks, and a small civic core define this low-rise North Shore community. About 10,000 people live in Lorraine.
