Eldon Hall Place in Kingston, Ontario.

   The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation created Eldon Hall Place during the early 1970's. In 1971 my family and I moved into a three-bedroom Eldon Hall Place townhouse. All the townhouses were subsidized housing units, otherwise my mother and her half a dozen children could not have afforded to live there.

Other Canada Mortgage and Housing properties:
Regent Park - Toronto
Willow Park - Winnipeg
Little Mountain - Vancouver
Habitat- built for Expo 67 and designed by Moshe Safdie.

The Calvin Park and Polson Park communities were built on Corrections Canada farm land:
     "The Federal Department of Justice owned one of the largest portions of institutional land in the city, the Penitentiary Farm. That farm, located in Kingston's west end would become the site of both Polson Park and Calvin Park." (From: (PDF) polson park and calvin park - 1954-1962, page 5/12.)
According to a document called Frontenac Institution Lands - Queen's University, 835 acres of Collins Bay Pen property may eventually be sold off.  Many people are opposed to the sale of prison farm land. I wrote the following letter to Member of Parliament Pierre Poilievre eight years ago:
