Boisbriand is an off-island suburb of Montreal, in southwestern Quebec, Canada on the north shore of the Rivière des Mille-Îles in the Thérèse-De Blainville Regional County Municipality.
The Hasidic community of Kiryas Tosh is located within the city limits. The rapidly growing community of 3,000 is home to the Tosher Rebbe, Meshulim Feish (Ferencz) Lowy, who established the community in 1963.
Although relatively small, Boisbriand is the town in Quebec which has the highest number of highways per square kilometres.[citation needed] There are 3: Highway 13 on the west, Highway 15 on the east, and Highway 640 in the middle/north.
Boisbriand is home to the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Armada play their home games at Centre d'Excellence Sports Rousseau.
