Suggestions for the use of Experimental Farm property.

INTERIM REPORT ON THE RESULTS OF PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS ON THE FUTURE OF THE CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM - Ottawa 1998.

My Dad created and edited a magazine called "Canadian Armed Forces Review" in 1968.

The de Havilland Aircraft Factory in Downsview can be seen in this photo.

Another classified ad in the magazine "Canadian Armed Forces Review" 1968.

High rise condominiums should not be built on the Farm:
1.)  "The Central Experimental Farm should remain an open area in perpetuity." (Cabinet Conclusions, March 19, 1954.) A copy of the Privy Council document is on one of my October 16, 2019 blogs - savecfbrockcliffe.

2.)  The Farm is a National Historic Site of Canada and a National Interest Land Mass. NILM properties including the Greenbelt are supposed to be untouchable.

3.)  Properties near Dow's Lake are not being zoned "Institutional". The designation "mixed-use" will pave the way for high rise condominiums.

4.)  Residents of Little Italy will lose the popular "Queen Juliana Park." In 1976 the National Capital Commission convinced Public Works and Government Services Canada to preserve the 33.5 acre  green space that surrounded the Sir John Carling Building.

5.)  The National Capital Commission outlined the reasons why the Sir John Carling site is an inappropriate location for a hospital, see the report "NCC Site Review for the New Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital-2016" Page 68/256.

6.)  More than 500 trees near Sir John Carling site will be chopped down according to former Ottawa Mayors Jacquelin Holzman and Jim Durrell. Their letter can be found in the report "NCC Site Review for the New Civic Hospital-2016" Page 215/256.

7.)  The CEF was Number 4 on a list of "13 Amazing Gardens to Visit in 2018" by Katherine Fletcher, updated July 7th, 2019.

8.) The CEF was placed on the "2015 Top 10 Endangered List" by the National Trust for Canada.

9.) The following groups are opposed to the institutional and residential redevelopment of the CEF:
a.)  Protect the Farm-Home|Facebook.
b.)  Save the Central Experimental Farm - Greenspace Alliance for Canada's Capital.
c.)  Saving the Central Experimental Farm| Heritage Ottawa.
d.)  COALITION TO SAVE THE CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM.
e.)  Canadian Council on Food Sovereignty and Health.
f.)  Save the Farm - Protest to save our trees and greenspace - 2017 Ecology Ottawa. See their video on YouTube "Ottawa prepares to hand over Historic Farmland to Corporate Developers."
g.)  Agricultural Institute of Canada.
h.)  The National Farmers' Union-Ontario.
i.)  Friends of the Farm.

10.)  The Farm may be designated a Cultural Heritage District by the Ontario provincial government.

11.)  The Farm may be designated a World Heritage Site by the United Nations agency UNESCO. Part of the mandate of UNESCO is to save historic buildings and landscapes from destruction because of acts of war, weather events and inappropriate redevelopment.
