Preserving Canada's Experimental Farm.

1.)  A March 19, 1954 Privy Council of Canada document stated that "The Central Experimental Farm should remain an open area in perpetuity."
2.)  Letters have been written to H.R.H Prince Charles and the Prime Minister of Canada imploring them to save the CEF.
3.)  Petition 388 was sent to the Auditor General of Canada "Protection of the Central Experimental Farm as a research facility and a national historic site of Canada." The Auditor General stated that there was a lack of public consultation.
  
4.)  More than a dozen groups are vehemently opposed to the construction of a hospital and parking lots on the land.That list includes neighbourhood associations, the Greenbelt Alliance of Canada's Capital and Reimagine Ottawa.
5.) Influential Canadians including Federal Green Party Leader Elizabeth May and politician and writer Clive Doucet want to see the integrity of the Farm preserved.
6.)  A traffic impact study has not been conducted, according to a Civic Hospital Neighbourhood Association newsletter. A 2002 traffic study concluded that streets in the area could not handle any more traffic.
7.)  A Cultural Heritage Study has not been conducted. Some of the most historic buildings in the nation are located on the CEF, including the Dominion Observatory, Booth Barn and Agricultural Museum.
8.)  The United Nations agency UNESCO may designate the Farm a Cultural World Heritage Site. The nearby Rideau Canal is already a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
9.)  Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act gives municipalities the ability to designate heritage conservation districts. I can envision the Farm, Little Italy, Dow's Lake, Queen Juliana Park and Commissioners Park as a Heritage Conservation District. Ottawa politician Katherine Hobbs wanted to save Queen Juliana Park from redevelopment. Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act already protects:
The ByWard Market
Sandy Hill West
New Edinburgh and many other neighbourhoods in the nation's capital.

The following organizations want to see the Farm preserved.
1.)  Protect the Farm - Home|Facebook.
2.)  Save the Central Experimental Farm-Greenspace Alliance of Canada's Capital.
3.)  Saving the Central Experimental Farm|Heritage Ottawa.
4.)  COALITION TO SAVE THE CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM.
5.)  Canadian Council on Food Sovereignty and Health.
6.)  Save the Farm - Protest to save our trees and greenspace.-2017 Ecology Ottawa.
7.)  Agricultural Institute of Canada.
8.)  National Farmers' Union.
9.)  Friends of the Farm
10.) Civic Hospital Neighbourhood Association.
11.) National Trust for Canada.
