Île Jésus Follows the Pace of Its Rivers

Île Jésus Follows the Pace of Its Rivers

Centre d’archives de Laval 2017

Discover a hidden side of Laval, on Montréal’s north shore, as you retrace the history of Île Jésus, shaped by two rivers: Mille Îles and des Prairies. The island was frequented by First Nations long before the arrival of settlers and the rise of industry on its shores. Today, it is still a gathering place where people come for celebrations or simply to find peace and quiet.
