Pointe-Fortune is a village in southwestern Quebec on the Ottawa River (Rivière des Outaouais) in Vaudreuil-Soulanges.

According to the 2001 Statistics Canada Census:
*Population: 457

The Village of Pointe Fortune is located just to the northwest of Montreal.

Pointe Fortune marks the boundary between Upper and Lower Canada.

The historical boundary marker (which still stands to this day) in what was Upper Canada, is where you'll find the Macdonell-Williamson House [http://www.mwhouse.ca/] which owes its existence to the fur trade and the legendary Voyageurs.

Pointe Fortune celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2004.
