Their territory spans more than 7,500 square kilometers and extends from Sorel in the north, along the St. Lawrence River to Sainte-Catherine in the west, south to the United States border and several kilometers east of the Richelieu River. Riverside's educational and training facilities serve the residents of over 115 municipalities on the South Shore of Montreal.
