Posted by Charlie_Dunver It wasnt a garbage dump on the Verdun proper side! All landfill from the dyke built after the great flood in 1895. Nun's Island side was partial garbage fill. CD

charlie, i have pictures taken by my father when he was a member of the verdun yacht club, in the 60s they filled from the present boardwalk to the present shoreline with garbage, the verdun stadium was built on top of garbage, when they were building brises du fleuve 6 years ago you could see the trash, the fill went from the auditorium all the way to the greenhouses. you can see the dyke behind the mc donalds, but between the dyke and the river is all trash.
