Since 2011

Our story

From a rue du Souvenir garage to an established Laval driving school.

École de conduite Boréal opened in Laval in 2011, in a rue du Souvenir unit that was then a garage. Three instructors taught the theory modules in the evenings. Today the school trains several hundred students a year from Laval and the surrounding area, with the same founding idea: nobody learns to drive well under stress. Sessions are short, routes are chosen to match the learner's real level, and every outing ends with a clear review of what is mastered and what still needs work.
