Jean-Charles Chapais Experimental Farm, Levis Quebec.
     Jean-Charles Chapais was a Canadian Father of Confederation and this country's first Minister of Agriculture. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is now seeking a new location for the experimental farm, just as-
1,900 Federal Government workers had to be relocated when the Canada Lands Company sold the Dominion Public Building, Toronto.
A new veteran's hospital had to be built in Alta Vista, Ottawa, after the CLC demolished Veteran's Affairs buildings near Smyth Road,and plan to take over the National Defence Medical Centre.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada is seeking a new location near the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour in Kingston, Ontario, after it was announced that the harbour and Kingston Pen would be massively redeveloped.
Revenue Canada employees at the Ralston Building in Halifax were displaced after CLC obtained title to the government building.
The CANMET Laboratory at the Natural Resources Complex on Booth Street Ottawa was relocated to a Hamilton, Ontario business park.

This is what Wikimapia said about the Jean-Charles Chapais Experimental Farm:
A place with historical importance
"Located in the Saint-David sector in Levis, which was the first animal quarantine station in the country. The quarantine station was closed in 1981 and transformed into an experimental farm. With its 40 hectares of land and a superb arboretum, a small specialized botanical garden; the site also houses two stables, a pigsty, a kennel and several buildings."
