Keepsakes from the Champlain Bridge Thousands of original rivets distributed to the public The original Champlain Bridge had a socio-economic impact on the landscape of the Montreal metropolitan region and the City of Brossard for over 57 years. Now that the deconstruction of this structure is almost complete, JCCBI wants to mark its history by giving the public souvenir rivets to commemorate this iconic structure. Rivet distribution Two events have been organized—one in Brossard and the other on Île des Sœurs—to provide citizens with rivets from the original Champlain Bridge that have been safely encapsulated under a layer of varnish.

JCCBI created a materials management and reuse plan to guide the reuse and recycling options for the different types of recovered materials.
