Canada’s biggest urban park takes shape
Canada’s biggest urban park is coming into existence in the island’s Far West, bringing together Cap St‑Jacques, most of Île Bizard, and some other green spaces that have been bought and appended. Federal money may be coming to knit it all together.

A lot of people worked very hard to make this happen, i’ve been paying attention to this issue for a decade, and I was pretty defeatist the entire way. It’s amazing that the entire area isnt’ all slated for suburban development. This is a win.
I really hope people go there and experience the space, especially when it’ll be easy to get to in a few years.
Really not sure why they are calling it an “urban” park though.

A good news story indeed. That area is a wonderful oasis. There is also night x-country skiing at Cap St-Jacques in…(some other season).

Faiz Imam, I suppose because it’s within the boundaries of Montreal, hence urban.
