Ancienne gare de Rigaud
This former Canadian Pacific station has served travellers since 1891, for intercity travel. Then, it was used for commuter trains on the Montreal/Dorion-Rigaud line in 1898 and 2010. The first station existed from 1891 to 1940; the current building was built in 1940. This station was very popular with pilgrims visiting the Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes sanctuary or students attending Bourget college. This building, now owned by the city of Rigaud, has been designated a "heritage railway station" since 1994. This railway line has become a pedestrian and bicycle path linking Rigaud to Vankleek Hill (in Ontario).
Église Sainte-Madeleine de Rigaud
Catholic Church. Its old architecture with double bell tower with exterior stone walls has great heritage value. This church, which has more than 200 years of history, is endowed with numerous works of art, many statues, an impressive organ and two well-crafted bell towers.
Au Vieux Moulin
Venue for weddings and receptions, in a rural setting on the banks of the river.
Anglican Christian Church.
Private educational institution at the preschool, primary and secondary levels, established since 1850. At the secondary level, the educational program includes instruction in French from secondary 1 to 5; in English for 10th, 11th and 12th grade. In addition, students can participate in the international program (French or English). The college encourages the development of students' fields of interest, particularly in sports, the arts and community involvement. The college offers a summer day camp. The old part of its built heritage has heritage value. Many visitors come to admire the built heritage of this college. The Collège Bourget Alumni Association maintains links with former teachers and students of the college. (ref.: http://www.anciensbourget.qc.ca/index.asp?sectionID=7)
Centre de ski et vélos de montagne du Mont Rigaud
Ski and mountain bike centre. In winter, the centre offers a snow school and instructor training. Mont-Rigaud is not very high or challenging, but for skiing it may be an alternative to the faraway Laurentian or Appalachian mountains for those living to the west of Montreal. In the summer, and fall, hiking can be quite pleasant.
