Mount Royal Tunnel
Mount Royal Tunnel

The Mount Royal Tunnel (French: tunnel sous le mont Royal, tunnel du mont Royal) is a railway tunnel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The tunnel is the third longest in Canada, after the Mount Macdonald Tunnel and the Connaught Tunnel, and connects the city's Central Station, in Downtown Montreal, with the north side of Montreal Island and Laval and passes through Mount Royal. The tunnel was originally proposed by the Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR) to provide access to Downtown Montreal without having to cross the already-congested area south of Mount Royal or the route around it to the east. The cost of the tunnel, along with an expansion to the west coast of Canada, caused CNoR to struggle financially before it was nationalized in 1918. Canadian National Railways (CNR), formed from CNoR and several other lines, took over the just-completed tunnel. When CNR also took over the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) in 1923, access to Ottawa and Toronto along the GTR lines made the tunnel largely redundant, and it was limited mostly to branch lines. The structure gauge of the Mount Royal Tunnel limits the height of bilevel cars to 14 feet 6 inches (4.42 m).Until 2014, the only trains using the tunnel were commuter trains from Exo's Deux-Montagnes service. From December 2014 to May 2020, it was also used by the Mascouche line, which serves the northeastern part of Montreal Island and the suburbs of Repentigny, Terrebonne, and Mascouche. Exo also considered rerouting its Saint-Jérôme line to Central Station via the tunnel from its current termini at Parc or Lucien L'Allier to save 15 minutes. On May 11, 2020, the Mount Royal Tunnel closed for a period of about four years. It is expected to reopen in 2024, exclusively for Réseau express métropolitain services; two new stations will be added mid-tunnel as part of the works.

Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine
Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine

The Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine (CHU Sainte-Justine) is the largest mother and child centre in Canada and one of the four most important pediatric centres in North America. It is affiliated with the Université de Montréal, located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.Founded in 1907 by Justine Lacoste-Beaubien and Dr Irma Levasseur, the CHU Sainte-Justine is currently the largest pediatric health centre in Canada. With its 550 beds, of which 30 are in the intensive care unit, it receives 19,000 inpatients yearly. The centre employs 520 doctors and 4500 medical students and residents.The CHU officially became a university health centre in 1995 and has since welcomed around 2500 medical students yearly. It has also been home to a research centre since 1973. In 2000, the Centre de réadaptation Marie-Enfant, the only pediatric rehabilitation centre in Quebec, became affiliated with the CHU Sainte-Justine.The institution underwent a major expansion in 2018, under the project "Grandir en Santé". This extension has increased the centre's total area by 65%.The CHU is a Level 1 pediatric trauma centre, receiving children from all over Quebec for pediatric liver transplantation, pediatric craniofacial surgery, and pediatric burn surgery. Tertiary and quaternary care in paediatrics and obstetrics includes all specialties in pediatric surgery, including cardiac, vascular and neurosurgery, as well as all pediatric specialties, including organ transplantation, oncology, hematology and child psychiatry. It is also the provincial reference centre for the detection of deafness, management of chronic pain and developmental disorders in children. Although a mother-child institution, it does not have the medical capacity to care for those mothers who require intensive care management. As such, these mothers are required to be transferred to other institutions on the Montreal island, such as: McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), Hôpital Maisonneuve Rosemont, Jewish General Hospital or Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal. Currently, the only centre on the island of Montreal with a full array of intensive-care (including fetal interventions, ECMO, dialysis, neurosurgery, care for the extreme premature newborn and cardiac surgery) for both the mother and the newborn, is the McGill University Health Centre (which is home to the Royal Victoria Hospital and the Montreal Children's Hospital).
