Îles Laval

The Îles Laval (French pronunciation: [il laval]; Laval Islands) 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. The islands have a population of about 1,000.[1]

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.[2]

Transportation

They are served by the Île-Bigras REM station which crosses the islands. A road bridge links the islands with the Sainte-Dorothée district of Laval, on Île Jésus.

There is a shared taxi, T26, on the island.[3]
