Working in harmony with the natural world

Take a deep breath and enjoy the silence for a moment, broken only by the trees' bustle and the birds' call. Majestically, with its wings spread, a great blue heron flies over the river. Its shadow slowly glides over the crystalline surface before it disappears on the bank. Barely visible on a tree trunk emerging from the surface, a painted turtle's neck extended towards the sky, enjoying the spring sun. Suddenly, a bird of prey splits the air, dives into the clear water, and reappears, magnificent with its streaked white breast and dark brown back, a walleye between its talons.

You are not, however, miles from the city, deep in the forest. On the contrary, you are in Laval, in the Sainte-Rose district, in the heart of the splendid wildlife refuge of the Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, which is home to many protected species. And you're there... on business? Imagine the chance to meet with colleagues in one of the three large multi-purpose rooms on the site (totalling 195 square metres), entirely glazed so as not to obstruct the view of the park and its unique wildlife. Could there be a better place to stimulate imagination and creativity during a brainstorming session? Is there a better place for team building? Wonder and escape are guaranteed, all in an eco-responsible manner in a natural environment.

The Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles offers a host of fascinating activities. The LEED-OR Certified Exploration Centre features the "Incredible but True" permanent exhibit on the history and ecosystem of the Mille Îles River. In the ecology laboratory, visitors discover the species that inhabit the refuge and the river. Park biologists explain the actions taken to preserve the fauna. Visitors can even discover the site by renting boats.
