Pointe-Claire is a municipality in southwestern Quebec, Canada; population 29,286 (Statistics Canada, 2001). Along with the other municipalities on the island of Montreal, it was merged with the city of Montreal on January 1, 2002 by the provincial government. On June 20, 2004, referendums were held in the boroughs of Montreal that had recently been merged to determine whether or not there was popular support to reinstate them as their own separate entities. As a result, Pointe-Claire was reinstated as a city on January 1, 2006.

The city's symbol is the windmill located on the shoreline. The area remains known in the sports world for its contributions to competitive swimming and diving, and has sent several Canadian athletes to the Summer Olympic Games. It is also the hometown of musician Sam Roberts and British tennis star Greg Rusedski.

Pointe-Claire is on the north shore of Lac Saint-Louis. It is bordered on the east by Dorval, on the north by Dollard-Des Ormeaux, and on the west by Kirkland and Beaconsfield.

The historical center of the municipality of Pointe-Claire was developed in an exceptional natural and geographical setting. The buildings established in the parish core, as well as the point itself — jutting into Lake St. Louis, and referred to in the municipality’s name — are reminders of the past which clearly illustrate this to visitors. This rich natural and architectural heritage also stretches beyond the point, mainly along a strip of land bordering the lake.
