Former politicians want LeBreton Flats to remain public.

LeBreton Flats could be Ottawa's Central Park, according to John Baird and John Manley.
LeBreton Flats, 1983.I found this document in a book at the Ottawa Public Library downtown.
More federal properties that should be off-limits to corporate, residential and commercial development:
The Oak Park Armoury land, 933 Gladstone Avenue, Ottawa. - Ottawa Community Housing is planning to build a high-density residential and commercial "village" on the 7.26 acre site.
The Central Experimental Farm is a National Historic Site of Canada and a National Interest Land Mass. The Civic Hospital should be banned from constructing their ever-expanding health-care facilities on the property---they originally needed 60 acres of land, now they are lobbying for more acreage.. And the original size of the hospital was a low-key "Scandinavian" model but it has morphed into a super hospital. (From: City of Ottawa Urban Design Panel.)
 Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Minister Gerry Ritz refused to give the Civic 50 acres of land directly across the street from the current hospital during the year 2008.
Queen Juliana Park which is located near the former Sir John Carling Building. The custodian is PWGSC and the current owners are the citizens of Canada. The land will either be a parking lot for Civic employees and visitors, or the locale of residential towers. Many people in Little Italy want the park to remain a public space and they have sent petitions to the City of Ottawa:
Stop the rezoning of Queen Juliana Park at 870 Carling Avenue.
City of Ottawa Planning Committee: Stop the rezoning of Parks to Condos, Queen Juliana in Little Italy.
