Agglomeration council on March 24, 2022, approved the administrative agreement between the Minister of the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change and the city aimed at implementing the paysage humanisé projeté de L'Île-Bizard.

This administrative agreement between the Minister and the city lays the groundwork for the implementation of the orientations set out in the paysage humanisé projeté de L'Île-Bizard conservation plan aimed at protecting the biodiversity of this inhabited area, whose landscape and natural features have a distinct character.

The western portion of L’Île-Bizard is the first area in Québec to receive this status. The paysage humanisé projeté de L'Île-Bizard covers most of the L’île Bizard agricultural zone along with part of the Rivière des Prairies and the Lac des Deux Montagnes.

The city has unveiled, on June 16, the report from its public consultation held during the spring and summer of 2020, regarding the L’Île-Bizard man-made landscape.

The majority of participants and groups who have voiced their opinion were in favour of the man-made landscape project, and have made comments and recommendations meant to improve the conservation plan. Among the recommendations, what stood out was the importance of improved communication and cooperation with the population, as part of this innovative project.
