City of Toronto CUPE 79 and 416 Strike – Day 28 – Centennial Arena Temporary Dump Site in Scarborough
Below is a video and pictures I took at the Centennial Arena/Confederation Park temporary dump site in Scarborough. As you will hear in the video, I think this dump site is miles ahead of Moss Park situation simply through better planning and recognition of the importance of good site selection.
You will also see solar panels on the roof of Centennial Arena – this is something I will talk about more later, as I am generally a fan of the Centennial Rec complex and the use of solar energy to offset the need of traditional fuel sources for water heating.
Confederation Park is home to Centennial Arena and Rec Centre and is located at 1967 Ellesmere Avenue. – Anyone notice the planning that took place in the old City of Scarborough as it relates to this site?
This is the view of the Centennial dump site from the access point drivers would approach.
This is a view of one of the rows of garbage currently in place at Centennial.
It’s a very long line of garbage, but has been well placed within the parking lot.
Here is another picture of the dump site with an impressive solar installation in the background and some of the larger condo projects in Scarborough.
A better perspective of the extent of current garbage at the site.
Hey look! It’s a basketball court not filled with garbage, and there are kids who don’t have access to municipal recreation programming playing on it! Too bad the kids in Moss Park can’t as well.
Scarborough the Green. This is a great example of the potential of solar installations to help limit the use of carbon emitting sources of energy when it comes to water heating. This project alone results in 28 fewer tonnes of carbon being emitted by this building. This is something I will talk more about later.
