Îles Laval
The Îles Laval are an island grouping in the Rivière des Prairies in southwestern Quebec, part of the Hochelaga Archipelago.
Formerly an independent municipality (Les Îles-Laval), they became part of the city of Laval on August 6, 1965.
Geography[]
Located northeast of Île Bizard between the Island of Montreal and Île Jésus (Laval Island), they include Île Bigras, Île Pariseau, Île Verte and Île Ronde.[1]
Transportation[]
They are served by the Île Bigras station of the Deux-Montagnes commuter train line which crosses the islands. A road bridge links the islands with the Sainte-Dorothée district of Laval, on Île Jésus.
There is no bus service on the islands.
