All races are held on ÎLE NOTRE-DAME, the beautiful man-made island in the St-Lawrence River created for Montreal's EXPO 67'. The magnificent facilities of the OLYMPIC BASIN were the site of the Olympic rowing events during the 1976 Olympic Games. The CIRCUIT GILLES-VILLENEUVE is the site of Montreal's FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX. The MONTREAL CASINO on Île Notre-Dame rounds out this island as Montreal's playground. The location and facilities on Île Notre-Dame are all proven WORLD CLASS venues.
