The photo was taken while she was out for a stroll with her mother along the Lachine Canal.
Dozens of cars, refrigerators, bikes and more than a few guns were hauled out of the canal in the 1990s as the old industrial waterway underwent a massive clean up. There is a thick layer of toxic sludge at the bottom of the canal, a reminder of the days when the canal banks were lined with tanneries and other heavy industry.
The Lachine Canal National Historic site reopened to kayakers and boaters in 2002. The bike path is hugely popular with weekend pedallers, bladers and strollers. Now I've seen it all.
