| A forward-thinking park
The Complexe environnemental de Saint-Michel, which is based on sustainable
development, is a one-of-a-kind park that has won many international
environmental awards.Tohu, the circus arts centre, is in charge of activities at
the park. TOHU’s mission includes cultural, environmental and community
components.
In 1988, the city acquired the former Miron limestone quarry and its adjacent
land to create a 192-hectare complex. Part of the complex is home to a recovery
centre, where Montrealers’ recyclables are processed, a power station that
converts the biogas produced at the landfill site into electricity, and
composting sites. The areas where waste was landfilled for more than 30 years
are progressively being developed into a large and beautiful park, comparable in
size to Mount Royal Park, that will bring together nature, culture, science and
sports. Visitors can come and see this transformation.
