About the Saint-Ignace-de-LoyolaSorel-Tracy crossing

36 crossings a day between Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola and Sorel-Tracy, across the Saint Lawrence at the head of the Lac Saint-Pierre archipelago.

This ferry is a provincial highway

The STQ lists one of its core purposes as joining up severed sections of the same road. This is that case: the crossing carries Route 132 traffic over the river, so the boat functions as a stretch of highway rather than as a separate journey. Frequency reflects it — departures roughly every half hour through the day, with no reservation system to negotiate.

Fewer than the return

Thirty-six sailings run this way and thirty-five the other, the extra one being an early positioning departure.

Operator

The STQ has run Québec's public ferry network since 1971 and carries about 4.8 million passengers and 2.2 million vehicles a year across thirteen services.
