The history of Dorval dates back more than 300 years to 1667 when Sulpician priests established a mission on the outskirts of what was then called Ville-Marie. The mission, originally named “Gentilly”, was later renamed “La Présentation de la Vierge Marie” and finally “Dorval”, which was incorporated as a village in 1892, as a town in 1903, as a city in l956, became a borough of Montreal in 2002, and a city again in 2006.
Located in a historical building and equipped with three exhibition halls, the mission of the Dorval Museum of Local History and Heritage is to inform the public on the history of the builders and the important events in the history of Dorval. A team of volunteers welcome you and present the permanent collections offered by generous donors. You will also find temporary exhibitions throughout the year; so repeat visits are welcome!
The Dorval aquatic centres were developed as animation centres adapted to the leisure needs of the population. We offer courses for children, sports initiation activities, aquafitness courses, early bird swimming as well as leisure swimming. Many of these activities are free.
The water in the pools is heated at 260 C, which allows us to open at the end of May, more than 3 weeks before the end of school.
You will find wading pools, whirlpools, water slides, green spaces, tables and chairs, BBQ’s and sun shelters.
The Peter B. Yeomans Cultural Centre is a spacious and welcoming Art Gallery near the beautiful Lake St. Louis. The Gallery is a platform for recognized professional exposure, offered to renowned, rising and chosen local artists. Many exhibits are presented with the support from the Conseil des Arts de Montréal en Tournée.
