Nature
Mont Saint-Bruno is a low mountain in southern Quebec, one of the Monteregian Hills rising 218 metres above sea level east of Montreal and standing prominently above the surrounding plain. Geologically, it is believed to be the deep remnant of an ancient volcanic complex active about 125 million years ago, formed as the North American Plate moved over the New England hotspot. Its mainly igneous bedrock includes pyroxenite and gabbro. Today the mountain combines protected woodland, farming, skiing, quarrying, agricultural research, and Canadian Forces training, giving it an unusual mix of natural and human uses close to Montreal.
