Le Sifflet – The Whistle

Free access
Between the Saputo Stadium and Centre Pierre-Charbonneau

This small whistle-shaped concrete tunnel was originally a passage connecting the Centre Pierre-Charbonneau to the 400-meter track during the 1976 Olympic Games. The Whistle, known also as “Big O”, has become over the years, one of the most prestigious so-called “natural” urban structures in the world in the eyes of the skateboarding community, practicing this sport there.
