Each Monday, we bring you some of the popular posts from our sister blog, Spacing Montreal. We’ll keep an eye open for topics and discussions that are pertinent to current public space issues in Toronto.<\/em><\/p>\n

• Andrew Emond brings us the first installment of his wastewater treatment series<\/a>, looking at Montreal’s abysmal history of sewage treatment.\u00a0 Although now home to the largest wastewater treatment plant in North America, Montreal was the last major city on the continent to start treating its sewage.<\/p>\n

• The Turkish Hazel trees now growing in the Parc La Fontaine<\/a> were planted over eighty years ago, shading and feeding the animals residing in the park when it functioned as a zoo.\u00a0 Bronwyn Chester takes a look at other nut trees growing in the area. [ Translated in English<\/a> ]<\/p>\n

• Guest contributor Claude Brochu brings us back to a time when Montreal neighbourhoods reproduced rural Quebec villages<\/a>, with local residents living almost exclusively within self-imposed neighbourhood boundaries. [ Translated in English<\/a> ]<\/p>\n
