Toboggan Hills… Where are they?? I can’t find any other than just the Mount and the Citadel. There’s enough hills in this place that there must be some good hills! You guys should do an article on the good sledding hills in the city.

The hill behing Gorsebrook (excuse my spelling) school on South Street had provided me with some nice sled-related thrills when I was a student.Have fun!
The golf course – 10 storey high slide with lots of spills and thrills
There is more than one golf course in this city… which do you mean?
Other good spots – the slope behind the houses on Bayers Road, between Micmac Street and Romans Avenue. The Ashburn Golf Course. Fort Needham in the north end. There’s also a ball field near Novalea, right hand side of the road, towards the MacKay bridge. When I was a kid, I used to toboggan down the plow-created snowbanks at the Hfx. Shopping Centre. It wasn’t a long run but it was extreme.
They mean the old Ashburn course near Bayers Road.
