ÃŽle des Soeurs

Île des Soeurs (English: Nuns' Island) is an island that forms a part of the city of Montreal, Quebec. It forms a part of the borough of Verdun. The Champlain Bridge connects Île des Sœurs with the south shore of Quebec, as well as Montreal proper via Autoroute 15. The much smaller Clément Bridge connects Île des Sœurs with the Autoroute Bonaventure.

Although the island is just miles from downtown Montreal, it is very secluded from the city and remains free of the heavy traffic and noise of the city. The island is primarily composed of residential homes with few very large businesses with the exception of Kodak offices. The island is noted for its parks and scenery including East Vancouver Park which overlooks the Saint Lawrence River. There is only one school on the island, the grade school École Île des Soeurs.
