Approximately 30 minutes drive from the city brings you to the West Island, one of Montreal’s most preferred residential areas.
Here you will find tree-lined streets, parks and playing fields, pretty village shopping areas and large shopping malls, libraries, cinemas, restaurants to suit your style and taste.
Keep your whole family in form! Take up a new challenge at one of the sports arenas - or enjoy Olympic-quality coaching at one of the indoor pools – or relax, make friends & party at one of the many (summer!) outdoor community pools. You could play a round of golf in the summer and cross country ski or toboggan the same area in winter – and downhill ski-ing for all levels is close-by. Whatever your sport, you are likely to be able to find it here.
There is no shortage of cultural events in the area – cultural centres and libraries regularly host musical events, plays for the family, and speakers on a multitude of topics, as well as rotating art exhibits from local clubs. And for your intellectual stimulation there are many Continuing Education courses offered by local colleges and school boards.
Easily accessible by the main transportation systems – Pierre Elliott Trudeau international airport in Dorval, highways 20 & 40, train & coach services to Ottawa & Toronto, 2 local train services and a network of local bus services.
