According to the Journal de Montreal, quite a few of Montreal's Metro stations have changed their names without anyone noticing nor any announcement by the STM.
The Commission de toponymie of Québec approved the move to change 20 of the STM's 68 Metro station names back in May 2014.
For the time being none of the signs within the stations will be updated except for Square-Victoria—OACI which was done in May and was publicly announced.
An online guide with all the name changes will be made available on the STM website in order to clarify everything.
Take a look below at all of the name changes.
1. Acadie becomes de L'Acadie
