Two more Dominion Buildings were sold by the Federal Government of Canada

  Once a federal building is privatized, the structure loses all heritage designation.

The Fraser Institute is calling for the denationalization of  Canadian government properties in the province of British Columbia---Canada Post, Canada Mortgage and Housing, Veterans Affairs...And the Fraser Institute wants to see the devolution of National Parks in British Columbia to the provincial government of BC.

The Higginbotham Building

 During the 1970's, the Higginbotham Building housed Canada Post, Manpower, Canada Customs and other federal government departments. In 1973, my Mother received a federal grant, a Local Initiatives Project (LIP) grant. Her project, CONCERN, provided free services to elderly and disabled Lethbridge citizens---the employees mowed lawns, drove people to medical appointments, painted houses, etc.

My Mother rented an office in the Professional Building, right next to Dominion Building; and I accompanied her when she selected furniture and equipment from the Higginbotham warehouse.

I am pictured second from the left on the Higginbotham Building loading dock, 1973.
