Dollard-des-Ormeaux

The city of Dollard-des-Ormeaux takes its name from a hero of New France, Adam Dollard des Ormeaux. Despite Quebec’s toponymy commission recommending the single-hyphenated spelling of Dollard-des Ormeaux, the city has stuck with the double-hyphenation. Dollard-des-Ormeaux – or DDO as it’s widely called –merged with the city of Montreal in January 2002, but demerged a few years later in 2006.
