An update-more $1 dollar federal real estate transactions.

1.) 50 acres of land located on 960 and 870 Carling Avenue were given to The Ottawa Hospital Corporation. The Dow's Lake parking lot is worth more than $4 million dollars.
2.)  The Paul Martin Senior Federal Building on 185 Ouellette Avenue in Windsor, Ontario was sold to the City of Windsor for $1 dollar.
3.) " The City of Ottawa is hoping to buy a parcel of land on Carling Avenue near Dow's Lake for a dollar"Kate Porter, CBC News. The "Federal Lands Initiative for Affordable Housing|CMHC" is a policy whereby government land is given to community associations, non-profit groups, etc. Ottawa Community Housing was probably granted the armoury site on 933 Gladstone.
4.)  Ottawa Community Housing is building affordable housing units on the billion-dollar CFB Rockcliffe, Ottawa. CFB Rockcliffe should have been preserved as a commemorative park.
5.)  In 1967 the 614-hectare Blair Rifle Range in North Vancouver, British Columbia was transferred to CMHC. Canada Mortgage and Housing privatized several properties including Habitat 67 in Montreal; the Kingstonian Apartments; Toronto's Rochdale College and Ottawa's Pestalozzi College.
6.)  The Ballet School of Canada was given the CBC Jarvis Street Headquarters:
Order in Council:
Grant approval for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (a) to sell some 4,898 square metres of land at 263 and 303 Mutual Street in Toronto to Context Real Estate Inc. and (b) to convey another 4,970 square metres of land at 354 and 372 Jarvis Street in Toronto to the National Ballet School for a nominal sum.
In 1979 I appeared on the television program "Take 30" and I remember walking through the massive parking lot, and the halls of the heritage building were lined with portraits of Barbara Frum, Pierre Berton, Fred Davis, Betty Kennedy, newscasters...
7.)  CFB Summerside in Prince Edward Island was given to a corporation, see the book "On the Take" by Stevie Cameron.
8.)  Shortly before CN Rail was privatized a bridge that spans the St. Lawrence River was transferred to "The People's Railway." For quite a while CN Rail owner Bill Gates refused to refurbish the Quebec Bridge, see the hashtag #PaintYourBridgeBill."
