The city of Laval covers all of Île Jésus
Île Jésus (French for Jesus Island) is an island in southwestern Quebec
, separated
from the mainland to the north by the Rivière des Mille Îles, and
from the Island of
Montreal
to the south by the Rivière des Prairies.
The
second-largest (245 km²) island in the Hochelaga
Archipelago
(after the Island of Montreal), Île Jésus is the
major component of the City of Laval
, along with the Îles Laval
and several other islands. The island is
still
rural in nature, with most of the
urban area in the central region and
along the south and west river banks.
