Circus Arts City TOHU

This guide to Circus Arts City TOHU in Montreal traces the site from six decades of limestone quarrying by the Miron family to its transformation into one of North America's largest landfills, taking in nearly a million tons of trash a year by the 1980s. It follows the neighbourhood pushback that closed the dump in 1984 and the hundreds of pipes still snaking through the hill, carrying methane to a power plant on-site. Stand on the reclaimed ground where quarrymen once blasted rock and dump trucks once rolled in daily.
