Note: Nuns' Island (or Ile des Soeurs in french) is part of the former city of Verdun, which has now been amalgamated into the city of Montreal. So you can say Nun's Island, Ile des Soeurs, Verdun, or Montreal. Mail and couriers will get here as long as you include the postal code. The official name is something like "City of Montreal, Borough of Verdun, Champlain district" but no-one will ever say or write out such a long name. People refer to it mostly as Nuns' Island or Ile des Soeurs. Do not give driving instructions as "Verdun" because some people may get lost in Verdun which is on the island of Montreal.

Driving Instructions: Press here for a map from Yahoo

• From Downtown Montreal: Take the Bonaventure Expressway to the Ile des Soeurs exit just before the Champlain Bridge. Avoid this route between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM especially during bad weather.

• From the north or west: Highway 15 (Decarie) to the Champlain Bridge. Take the Ile des Soeurs exit just before the bridge. Avoid this route between 4:30 and 6:30 PM. It may be better to go downtown and take the Bonaventure Expressway.

• From the south: Get off at the first exit (Ile des Soeurs) at the Montreal end of the Champlain Bridge. Avoid this route between 7:30 and 9:30 AM.

• Turn right at the first stop sign on Nuns' Island. Drive about 600 meters to 716 Chemin du Golf.

By Public transport:

Take the 168 bus from Victoria Square or McGill metro. This bus goes the long way around the island - around a 20 minute drive from downtown. The 12 bus from Lasalle metro goes straight up Golf Road to our door.

By Bike:

From Wellington in Verdun, turn towards the water at the Canadian Tire store and continue to the left of the high school and take the bike path across the bridge to Nuns' Island. Turn left at the stop sign and continue about 600 metres.
