‘The path disappeared:’ Landslide sweeps away home and road northeast of Montreal
- A major landslide occurred early May 21, 2025, in Ste-Monique, Quebec, northeast of Montreal, sweeping away a home and part of a road.
- The landslide happened in an area known for landslides, following several days of heavy rain, although officials said it is too early to confirm the exact cause.
- Regional civil security director Sylvain Gallant estimated the landslide created a depression roughly 760 metres in length and 150 metres across, with the affected area continuing to grow; as a precaution, several nearby residences were evacuated.
- No injuries occurred because the house was empty, and evacuees' return is uncertain, while eyewitness André Lemire described the ground opening at around 6 a.m. And confirmed the area’s history of landslides on sensitive clay.
- Officials and locals note that this landslide could grow larger due to steep walls, highlighting ongoing risks in Ste-Monique where homes predate provincial hazard maps and landslides have previously caused deaths and millions in damages.
