Ghosts Of The Malt
Built in the early twentieth century, the former Canada Malting plant has a dozen gigantic silos of 37 meters high. The oldest was built in 1905. Hundreds of employees worked there after the Second World War, until the closure of the factory at the turn of the 80s. The building, despite its poor condition, is unique. With its ceramic silos, it is one of the last two copies in North America.
