L’Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève

Our borough is the result of the merger of two former municipalities with a great and beautiful history that enthusiasts of the subject enjoy telling and writing about. On October 24, 1678, the Frontenac government granted the island, then called Île Bonaventure, as a seigneury to Jacques Bizard. This date marks the beginning of the history of Ile Bizard. The Société patrimoine et histoire de l’île Bizard celebrated its 325th anniversary in 2003 with several festivities throughout the year.
