For Torontonians, this would be the world’s easiest “What Is It?” puzzle, but when I first arrived here from Vancouver, I had to ask what these oddities were for.
Perhaps B.C. is the only province with a climate so mild that these huge storage facilities for road salt are not needed. Toronto is peppered with them. (Sorry about the pun).
Does anyone know if these pyramids are common elsewhere in the country?

in BC often temperatures require a mix of sand and salt on roads.
