Banker's Row in Ottawa will no longer exist.

Public Services and Procurement Canada is redeveloping an entire city block across the street from Parliament Hill. Several buildings in the vicinity are facing demolition.
 Architectural companies from New York City, Toronto and Spain have already signed on to present their vision for the most historic landscape in the heart of our nation. It is only a matter of time before the Langevin Block, Library and Archives and the East and West Memorial Buildings are sold off or converted into condominiums or hotels.
This is what happened to a few Bank of Canada buildings:
10 Toronto Street in Toronto, Ontario was owned by financier E.P. Taylor and then by newspaper baron Conrad Black.
 A former Bank of Canada in Montreal is now the W Hotel by Marriott, located at 901 Rue du Square- Victoria.

250  University Avenue, Toronto -
Former Bank of Canada, 250 University Avenue, Toronto. This is what I fear will happen to Banker's Row on Wellington Street.

The Victoria Building on 140 Wellington Street, Ottawa should not even be part of this project, 140 Wellington is included in Bill S-203, a private member's bill created by Senator Serge Joyal to save the architectural history of the Parliamentary Precinct.

PWGSC was "Canada's biggest landlord" in 1980. The department was responsible for building and maintaining the $40 to $60 billion dollars worth of real estate that was collectively owned by all Canadians.

 Since 1985 the government of Canada has been seized by a frenzy to sell off property that should be inherited by our grandchildren.
