Where are we located

Driving Directions
Type the following address for GPS: 13 Chemin de L’Infinite, St-Mathieu-du-Parc, QC G0X 1N0
PLEASE NOTE: From Rte 351, DO NOT turn into Chemin du Lac Gareau. Instead drive to the Yellow Sign (see picture) at the entrance of the Centre and turn in. This is Chemin de L’Harmonie. Drive for about 1 Km to the Reception on the left.
The data signal as you approach the centre is spotty, therefore, we recommend that you save a screenshot of your direction, save offline maps, or carry a printout.

Montreal is the closest city to fly or take a train to. From Montreal, you can either rent a car, use a taxi service or take a bus (see below), to come to the Centre. We recommend sharing the ride/car rental with others coming to the Centre, where possible, to help reduce cost and pollution!
