Before the Champ des Possibles:
\nTransformation of a Wasteland
\nAt one time a cedar and beech forest, at another a quarry, a dump and an industrial rail yard, the land occupied by Champ des Possibles has a rich and varied history. It also neighbours the R\u00e9seau-Vert linear park, located on the other side of the railroad line, which was to be the first link in a green corridor stretching over 100 kilometres.While this major project never came to fruition, a number of citizen initiatives have taken over on both sides of the tracks. This tour will provide an update on the ongoing transformation of the post-industrial wastelands along the rail corridor, and the many challenges that remain.
\nEvent organized in conjunction with Les Amis du Champ des Possibles<\/a><\/p>\n

Your guide, Melanie Leavitt, is a member of the board of The Main and Mile End Memories. Activity organized jointly with Les Amis du Champ des Possibles.<\/p>\n
