Urban campgrounds, re-naturalized urban landscapes.
This seems like a stretch of the imagination for the Champ des Possibles, but I do like the idea of re-naturalizing parts of the city, as well as trying to find a way to bring campfires back to certain areas. Both of utmost concern for our Champ.
Some text from the article:
After contemplating the paucity of campfires in the city last week, I was excited to come home to news of the possibility of developing urban campsites here in Montreal.
…Sustainable Tourism Montreal does not necessarily want a direct hand in designing or operating the campgrounds; they simply want to plant the seed of an idea he said. According to Léger, the campsites could be run either by a para-public municipal organization (à la Bixi), or through a partnership with Federal parks or SEPAQ. Léger says that the mayor of Rosemont has expressed interest in the idea, and he has also spoken with the Sud-Ouest borough about several sites near the waterfront. (Ed note: maybe he could look into Meadowbrook?)
