Kanada CJ-29 Sainte-Thérèse II 31.07.-13.08.2010 ENVI/TEEN 12vols
Age 16 - 20 years old, French speaking camp!
LOCAL ORGANIZATION: City of Sainte-Thérèse. Almost 15 years ago, the municipality and groups of Chantiers jeunesse began the transformation of an abandoned site into a new green space right in the centre of town, located some 30 km north of Montréal. The site, known as the “Pit à Charron” (the Charron’s Pit) is a former quarry and was for many years a garbage dump! The groups toiled away to clean cleaning the site and begin a landscaping job. We are, as a result, a long way from the first two phases when 800 tires were found and the first paths and trails were built! This site is now a nature park well known by the whole community. Participants have helped with the installation of windmills used to filter the water of the ponds. One of these ponds has, by the way, been named after Chantiers jeunesse to honour the groups! Welcome to the “Jardin des Sources” (Springs Garden)!
WORK: Two groups will follow one another this summer, in July and August to improve the accessibility of the site for the citizen and to bring out the ecological and natural character of the site. Moreover, you will get the chance to work with youths from the Ste-Thérèse Youth Club. Here is the challenge that awaits you in this bird’s paradise:
- To widen and solidify the paths around the lakes;
- To clear some areas of the undergrowth in the park;
- To plant trees and shrubs to diminish erosion;
- To build park furniture (tables, benches, etc.) and to repair the wooden stairs near the lakes;
- To clean and lay out the site of the River Park.
