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[edit]
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[edit]
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.[2]
