Bourget, Ontario

Bourget is an unincorporated village in Eastern Ontario, Canada, near the Cobbs Lake Creek, in the city of Clarence-Rockland in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell.

It was named after Ignace Bourget (1799-1885), one-time Roman Catholic Bishop of Montreal.

It is named after Ferdinand Larose an agronomist who instigated and planned the planting of the trees to the lands not good for agriculture.

[3] East of Bourget during spring, Cobbs Lake Creek floods into the neighbouring fields and briefly hosts tens of thousands of migrating Greater Snow Geese and smaller numbers of migrants such as Northern Pintail ducks and Canada geese.

The Prescott and Russell Recreational Trail, which uses a former Canadian Pacific railway right-of-way, also passes through the village.
