This article presents an overview of the geography of places of worship so called minority religions (Le., non Roman Catholic or Protestant) in Montréal and examines some elements of the spatial strategies used by ethno-religious groups in the choice of location of their places of worship. We then turn our attention to the regulatory framework for the siting and construction of places of worship at the municipal level. Drawing on recent fieldwork with (Jewish) Hasidic and Muslim communities, we conclude by discussing some of the main issues involved in the establishment of minority places of worship in Montréal's urban landscape.
