Héritage Laurentien invites you on an expedition to Rock Island to become an ambassador for the protection of the American sea-blite (carmantine d’Amérique).
Cross the river on giant paddleboards provided by Tous au Fleuve, then spend the afternoon discovering the island through swimming, ecological interpretation, shoreline clean-up, and invasive species control.
Details on equipment, safety instructions, and contact info are available in the registration form.
Open to ages 16 to 116!

FESTIVAL VISION | Verdun-sur-Fleuve is a chance to come together and celebrate the great river that borders our neighbourhood and our island city. More than just a neighbour, the river shapes our landscape and acts as a connector for the community of Verdun, the Greater South-West of Montréal, and all of Québec—carrying us toward the ocean.
The river becomes a way to reflect on our identity, our future, how we live together, the species we share the city with, how we interact with the river, and our shared responsibility to protect the environment.
