Cartier is a community in the Canadian province of Ontario, located in the Sudbury District approximately convert|20|km|mi|0|lk=on north of the northwestern city limits of Greater Sudbury along Highway 144.

A designated place administered by a local services board [http://www.canlii.org/on/laws/regu/1990r.737/20030205/whole.html] , Cartier had a population of 302 in the Canada 2006 Census. [http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/data/popdwell/Table.cfm?T=1302&PR=35&SR=1&S=1&O=A] It is commonly considered to be part of Greater Sudbury's metropolitan area, but is not officially counted as such by Statistics Canada as it is not part of an incorporated municipality. It is considered part of the Sudbury, Unorganized, North Part census subdivision.

Halfway Lake Provincial Park is located approximately 20 kilometres north of Cartier.

History

In 1885 the community was known as Archer. In 1888 it was officially named Cartier after the township, which was named to honour Sir George-Étienne Cartier (1814-1873), joint premier of the province of Canada with Sir John A. Macdonald from 1857 to 1862. The township was named by surveyor H. B. Proudfoot.

Transportation

Prior to 1964, Cartier was the northern terminus of provincial highway 544 from Sudbury, which was renumbered as Highway 144 when it was extended northerly to Timmins.

The community is home to a stop-on-request VIA Rail station. [http://www.viarail.ca/train-stations/en-station-cartier-ontario.html]
