Annual Big Splash event aims to draw attention to lack of accessibility to the river
As the temperature in the city hits 30 C again, some Montrealers may be tempted to jump into the St. Lawrence River to cool off. That’s what about 100 people did on the Jacques-Cartier Pier Tuesday morning, as part of an annual event demanding better access to the water surrounding the island of Montreal and asking to improve the quality of that water.
