 West Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The West Island is the unofficial name given to the mostly suburban municipalities of Baie-d'Urfé, Beaconsfield, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Dorval, Kirkland, Lachine, Île-Bizard, Pierrefonds, Pointe-Claire,, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue,, and, which comprise the western portion of the Island of Montreal, in Quebec, Canada.
The name probably originated from the geolinguistic division of the island into French and English, with francophones typically inhabiting the eastern portion of the island and anglophones typically inhabiting the western half.
The West Island is sometimes derogatorily referred to as the "Waste Island", because urban Montrealers tend to see it as a suburban wasteland, devoid of cultural attractions, and most of its residents go to downtown Montreal for such activities.
