Schools, parks, commutes, space and price: what Saint-François and Saint-Vincent-de-Paul offers a family, and what it has to accept, said before the visit.
Living in Saint-François and Saint-Vincent-de-Paul with a family. The sector falls under the Centre de services scolaire de Laval and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board. The Centre de la nature (lake, farm, trails, winter sliding) is Laval's great park and the east's leisure heart; the banks of both rivers and neighbourhood parks complete the offer. The sector has neither metro nor station: STL buses reach the Cartier terminus and Montmorency metro. Pro: Space and countryside twenty kilometres from downtown, the Rivière-des-Mille-Îles park, at the lowest price in east Laval. Con: Rural and quiet: no train, no metro, no condos or shopping street; everything is by car. For families who want space, countryside twenty kilometres from downtown and a great park, at eastern Laval's lowest price; for those working in eastern Montreal or Terrebonne via Highway 25. Less so for those who want a train, a metro, a condo or a shopping street: eastern Laval is rural, calm and lived by car, toll included.

The figures are those published by the APCIQ for the second quarter of 2026; nothing is embellished.
The school catchment of a specific address cannot be guessed: it is checked with the school service centre before offering, and subsidized daycare spots are requested early, everywhere in the region.
For a family, the commute is measured at rush hour, with the detour by the daycare or the school: do it once on a Tuesday morning before deciding.
