Why Experimental Farm land should not be sold.

1.) Ottawa's Experimental Farm is a National Historic Site of Canada.
2.) The proposed location of a new hospital is too close to Dow's Lake, which is a major tourist venue. The Dutch Royal Family sends thousands of tulip bulbs to Ottawa every year to thank the City for providing a sanctuary for the family during World War 11.

Her Majesty Queen Juliana and H.R.H. Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands attend the Tulip Festival at Dow's Lake.

3.) Classified Federal Heritage Buildings are located on the Farm:
The Dominion Observatory
Photo Equatorial Building
Main Dairy Barn
South Azimuth Building
4.)  Recognized Federal Heritage Buildings are located on the Farm:
Seismology Survey Building
Horticulture Building

5.) Agriculture Ministers Bud Olson, Eugene Whelan and Gerry Ritz refused to sell Experimental Farm land. During the year 2007 officials from the Civic Hospital approached Minister of Agriculture Gerry Ritz to see if they could buy CEF property. In addition, Mr. Ritz refused to sell the Ravenwood Experimental Farm in Charlottetown Prince Edward Island.

6.) Several organizations are committed to preserving the Farm:
Save the Experimental Farm - 1974
Rideau Valley Conservation Authority - 1974
Protect the Farm - Home| Facebook
Save the Central Experimental Farm - Greenspace Alliance of Canada's Capital.
Saving the Central Experimental Farm| Heritage Ottawa.
COALITION TO PROTECT THE CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM.
Canadian Council on Food Sovereignty and Health.
SAVE THE FARM - Protest to save our trees and greenspace - 2017.

7.) Petitions have been sent to federal politicians:
Petition - Protection of the Central Experimental Farm as a research facility and a national historic site of Canada - 2016.
Save Ottawa's Precious Urban Green Space - Change.org.

8.) Newspaper articles:
Peter Anderson| Protect the Experimental Farm|Ottawa Citizen 2014.
Maitland: Civic hospital relocation - Let's save the Farm and get this right - by Leslie Maitland, Ottawa Citizen December 1, 2016.

9.) The National Capital Commission initially decided against selling 60 acres of the land to the Civic Hospital, see the YouTube video "Ottawa prepares to hand over historic federal farmland to corporate developers" January 21, 2017.

 Are federal politicians and bureaucrats following orders from the House of Lords in England or the House of Windsor? Why is the National Capital Commission called a "Crown corporation" and why is federal land known as "Crown land, owned by Her Majesty in Right of Canada."?
All federal real estate in Canada should be "Public land and buildings, owned by the People of Canada."
