Canada Lands Company and Canada's First Nations jointly own a Department of Fisheries and Oceans property in Vancouver.

4165 Marine Drive, West Vancouver British Columbia.
The 5 acre vacant parcel of land is worth $11.587 million dollars.
"The land will be used for significant new residential and industrial development". (From: wesellvancouver.ca, June 26 2017.)
 Remember this, people of Kingston, when you lose the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, a Department of Fisheries and Oceans Crown asset.
Canadian  federal Crown property is collectively owned by all Canadians. When Crown land is privatized, ordinary citizens lose all control over how the property will be transformed.

Politicians and members of the public were instrumental in saving:
Most of the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. -During the Mulroney area, 91 acres of the farm were privatized, the Clyde/Merivale lands; the Central Park housing project was built on the property.
The Upton Farm and Ravenwood Farm in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
Ottawa's Conference Centre, across the street from the Chateau Laurier Hotel.
 Prison Farm Lands in Kingston, Ontario.
The Dominion Observatory on the grounds of the Central Experimental Farm.
The Kitsilano Coast Guard Station in Vancouver, reopened in the year 2016.

Petition - Save the Kingston Portsmouth Olympic Harbour Greenspace and Character
"Despite consistent widespread community opposition to the sale of the Kingston Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, Park and the DFO greenspace at the north end of the harbour, the design plans still include consideration of the sale of these valuable public lands for the purpose of building new private housing."

"The Big House" will be irrevocably damaged:
"Selective demolition of the Main Walls can provide entrances for automobiles and buses." (Page 74,  City of Kingston - Projects - Kingston Penitentiary and Portsmouth Olympic Harbour - Opportunities and Constraints.)
Removal of  substantial sections to permit pathways, roads, new construction, views and public access to the water.

Strategic Perforation
Holes are cut into the prison walls rather than removing them completely.
