Toboggan Slives
Here are pictures of the toboggan slides wich where behind the Verdun General Hospital and wich appear in the winter editionn of our SHGV magazine, Les Argoulets. Guy
I distinctly remember as a kid, my dad taking me and my sister to the foot of our street, Allard Ave, to spend the day sliding down the river bank onto torchy warf. Some days seemed like there were hundreds of kids sliding down that hill. Sometimes if you had enough momentum coming down the hill, and the snow was packed enough, you would go past the warf onto the ice which was the same height as the warf. Anyone else remember doing that? This would have been mid to late 50's.
