Montréal (06) is one of the administrative regions of Quebec, Canada.
It is also a territory equivalent to a regional county municipality (TE) and a census division (CD), for both of which its geographical code is 66.
It consists of the 2002-2005 territory of the city of Montreal, and is coextensive with the urban agglomeration of Montreal. Following merger of all the municipalities of the agglomeration into one on January 1, 2002, sixteen of its municipalities were reconstituted on January 1, 2006.
Located in the southwestern part of the province, the territory includes several of the islands of the Hochelaga Archipelago in the Saint Lawrence River, including the Island of Montreal, Île des Sœurs, Île Bizard, Île Sainte-Hélène, Île Notre-Dame, Île Dorval, and several others.
