Politically, the town is situated in the riding of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell both provincially and federally. Embrun is an urban area. NHL player Martin St. Pierre is from Embrun. Wipeout Canada contestant Ken Downton is from Embrun. At one time, a branch of the New York Central Railroad passed through the town. Now, the old rail bed is used as a recreational bicycle path. The village was named after the town of Embrun in the Hautes-Alpes region of France and its population is mainly (but not largely or exclusively) francophone. Although the town was (and still is, but to a lesser degree) a bedroom community with little industry, that is starting to change. There is an Ontario Provincial Policestation in the town. Although traditionally a francophone community, in recent years the town's population is becoming more anglophone, with 40% (2005 estimate) of the population speaking English at home. Embrun has four main housing neighbourhoods which provide a home for 90% of the town's population. These four main housing neighbourhoods are generally separated from the other, with usually only one or two streets connecting them. The town has a high senior population, with half of the population being over the age of 45. Some consider the village of Casselman to be Embrun's rival. Others call Russell Embrun's rival.
