L’Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève

A true jewel of Montreal, residents of the Île-Bizard-Sainte-Geneviève borough enjoy an exceptional living environment in this humanized landscape.

The borough is split in two by the Rivière des Prairies. On the north side of the river is Île-Bizard: green spaces, heritage buildings and riverside environments are what give it its charm. Rich in biodiversity and natural environments, Île-Bizard, renamed in honor of Jacques Bizard, is bordered by Lac des Deux-Montagnes and Rivière des Prairies. Its nature park offers a moment of calm and peace to those who venture there, while allowing visitors to discover a multitude of species of all kinds. In a panorama marked by a seigniorial and agricultural heritage, you can find a mosaic of architectures.

The borough is linked by the Jacques-Bizard Bridge, with the Sainte-Geneviève district on the other side of the river, the heart of the village. This is the borough's educational and cultural hub, including the Cégep Gérald-Godin and the Pauline Julien concert hall. Its proximity to the river gives Sainte-Geneviève residents privileged access to the waterfront.
