Wharf Behind Natatorium Detaches

A section of the wharf behind the Natatorium detached and floated down river but luckely was recuperated by the contracttor who has the contract to repair and store the wharf. As previously mentioned, there are 2 floating docks, One at the foot of Brault and the other behind the Natatorium. You will always find some fishermen on these wharfs as shown on enclosed photo. Subject from the Messager de Verdun.

Hello Guy,  nice looking wharf's ,it's nice to see a city build something that can be used by everyone ....I would imagine those wharves in Verdun ,do get a lot of use.. The whole island of Montreal has done a fantastic job refurbishing the waterfront with useable greenspace..well done Do you know if the river is now 'clean enough' to use ie: swimming or eating the fish caught there,I would think it's a far sight cleaner these days than 40 years ago ,with all the treatment of sewage and no dumping directly into the river:            Thanks for the pictures,///............................HF&RV

Les   About the Nat..the next time the special on Short and Tall men comes on CTV right at the beginning I thought I saw a scene where the guy who filmed it is walking by the fence and you can see the whole thing and a bit of Lasalle Blvd..I saw it fast when I was surfing...wondering if anyone else sees it...now not like a UFO spotting here but could have been...hope it was not just wishful thinking on my part..   Lad

Hi  lad:  I'm not familiar with that show, but if I happen to hear of it being on,I will try & catch the beginning to see if it is the Nat. ( or the wharf behind it?) what am I looking for?    .........................................             HF&RV

Les   This show ran on CTV this week-end..Its a Doc made about Tall and Short guys and what the world thinks of them. Right at the beginning the guy talking is walking past a bldg..and real quick I said that sure looks like the Nat to me..I know some of it was filmed in Mtl. and N.Y.City..so I figure maybe it is the Nat. and also see Lasalle Blvd. If you do see it let me know what you think..like I said maybe just wishful thinking on my part but sure looked like it. Les what part of B.C. are you in? Went to Kitchener Aud. on the week-end for Memorial Cup Events..which we lost.. anyway they had all the Junior Hockey Sweaters there and I was going to take a picture but not sure how close I would have been ...guessing maybe Vancouver Giants.   Lad

Hi lad:  Victoria BC.......... as for the Memorial Cup,.I was watching most of the game,in between yard work etc etc ........  The Spokane Chiefs sort the colours of the Bleu Blanc Rouge............ the Vancouver Giants won last year,& I'm surprised they weren't competing again this year,but I imagine they lost a few players to the draft,.They seem to think that due to the younger age of the Spokane team,that they may just have a little dynasty for a few years to come,......Who Knows.                                                                                 HF&RV

Les   Our Rangers were built to win it this year so next year will be a rebuilding by all accounts in the papers. The Chiefs are only losing 3 or 4 players according to to-days paper here and are predicted to be back again.. Seems like they could be a mini dynasty. Hopefully we get back soon..I mean the Habs are coming on so why not?   Lad
