Sauvons la falaise! is a group of Montreal citizens who want to protect the falaise from being disturbed by the Turcot construction work. You can sign the petition here.

2. It is central to any greenbelt (ceinture vert) which could be created on the Island.
3. It stops erosion and keeps St. Jacques Street at the top of the escarpment (rather than the bottom).
