Access to bodies of water for Tashlich

Tashlich (תשליך) is a ritual that many Jews observe during Rosh Hashanah. "Tashlich" means "casting off" in Hebrew and involves symbolically casting off the sins of the previous year by tossing pieces of bread or another food into a body of flowing water.
 
The city  of Côte Saint-Luc wishes to let people  know that the following bodies of water are or will be functioning in time for Tashlich on the first day of Rosh Hashanah:
  • McDowell Park (Borden Ave.)
  • Rabin Park (Sidney Shoham Place)
  • Rembrant Park (Rembrandt Ave. near  Kildare).
Unfortunately, due to the renovations at Trudeau Park, that lake will not be available.
