Île-Bigras (French pronunciation: [ilbiɡʁa]) is a Réseau express métropolitain (REM) station that opened on 17 November 2025.[7] It is located on and named after Île Bigras in Laval, Quebec, Canada.
The station first opened in 1995, following the electrification of the Deux-Montagnes commuter rail line, part of the Exo network. In May 2020, the station closed as part of the conversion of the line to become part of the REM.[8] Some residents were unhappy that a station would be provided on the island.[8]
