The Civic Hospital relocation will destroy the Experimental Farm.

The Dominion Observatory campus.Plans are underway by to flatten the South Azimuth Building because the City of Ottawa is widening Maple Drive. This photo is from 1966.

1.) The Dominion Observatory property- Buildings 3, 8 and 9 are already gone.

2.) The Civic Hospital evicted the DARA Tennis Club which is located near the vacant William Saunders Building.For more than 100 years the club was located there.

3.)  Plans are underway to demolish the Cafeteria Annex which is located beside the Sir John Carling Building site. Agriculture Canada wanted to create a visitor's centre in the Annex.

4.)  Queen Juliana Park has been rezoned to facilitate the construction of high-rise condominiums and they are going to be high. Many people in Little Italy and former councillor Katherine Hobbs are opposed to the redevelopment of the 33.5 acre federal green space.

5.) The Civic has indicated that they need more than 60 acres of land and that is why the Farm was chosen.(NCC Site Review for the New Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital.).Eventually the people of Canada are going to lose the K.W. Neatby Building and CFIA Lab on 960 Carling Avenue and the surrounding landscape.

6.) Prince of Wales Drive-Isabella Preston's crabapple trees will be chopped down so the Drive can be widened.

7.) At least 500 trees are endangered according to a letter on page 215 out of 256 pages of the "NCC Site Review for the New Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital".

North Boundary-Carling Avenue between Bayswater Avenue and Preston Street.
East Boundary-From Preston Street to Prince of Wales Drive.
South Boundary-From Prince of Wales Drive (600 metres) to 90 degrees west to Birch Drive.
