“This heat wave this week is quite significant,” said Environment Canada meteorologist André Cantin. “We’ll have almost five days in a row with very warm temperatures and [with the humidity, it will feel like] above 40 degrees, especially during the afternoon.”

These 40 degrees are in Celsius…

Unfortunately, it seems like the Zone514 park will not be built again for the 2009-2010 winter season. Instead Park Jean-Drapeau management has decided to build a “super-glissade” which we highly recommend you check out.

This makes me sad… Guess it’s back to making our own improvised jumps in every Montreal park with a steep enough hill (Mont-Royal, Parc Lafontaine, Olympic Stadium, etc). Still a shame though.
