MONTREAL — On warm days, Montreal's Lachine Canal can attract thousands of picnickers, cyclists and pedestrians.
"I don't like when people don't pick up or do leave garbage around," she said. The decision to get rid of garbage cans, she added,"is a way of probably accumulating garbage and/or deterring people from the area." “If they want people outside, and enjoying the outside, and they know that in the summer, especially, it’s an area often people will have picnics and come with friends and family and dogs — I don’t really understand," Ranjbar lamented.
Parks Canada said it plans to monitor the effectiveness of the project, with teams prepared to pick up litter and"evaluate and adapt this project on an ongoing basis." It did not say how long the measure would last. Parks Canada did not make anyone available for an interview on Wednesday. "It's different, to compare with big parks where we go and we know it's difficult to collect the rubbish," she said in a phone interview."You can't compare a national park with this kind of park in the city, where there are a lot of people passing by."
