Turcot Yard Snow Dump

A small but serious environmental disaster in the making.  What were they thinking, or (more to the point) were they thinking at all?
More at: this page.

After telling ex-patriot collegues in the United States that I would shoot some footage and stills of the world’s greatest snow dump, of which they were hearing on the news, I was quite excited to see a fair amount of interest and activity sourrounding the dump and Turcot Yard in general.  This of course leads one to the issues surrounding the Falaise Saint Jacques (NDG Escarpment) and the inherent environmental issues.  The Yard is a very interesting place from many aspects and rife with myth, history, tales and real-life impact potential.  There are a good many people and corporations holding their breath to see what will be the fate of the Turcot Yard, one of the most highly valuable territories in a metropolis anywhere on the globe.  It is touted as “the largest abandoned open air urban space.”

Visiting the link above you will be treated to the entire ongoing story I am exploring around the Yard, the escarpment, and the history of this valuable place.  In addition I will blog my experience here as time allows.
