Books about endangered federal properties in Canada.

The future of the Dominion Observatory Campus near Carling Avenue, Ottawa is bleak because:
1.) The Gonzales Observatory, 302 Denison Road Victoria, BC (pictured on the cover of this book) was sold to the City of Victoria For $35,000 dollars in 1987. The property was divested through a Privy Council Order-in-Council.
 2.) A health care facility is building a new hospital on 50 acres of land near the Dominion Observatory, Ottawa. The hospital has indicated that they do not want "irregularly shaped parcels of land" and the National Capital Commission said that many heritage buildings could be relocated or demolished.
2.)  During the mid-1990's the federal government wanted to flatten the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory.
3.) Astronomer Arthur Covington wrote a letter to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in 1971 asking the PM to save the Carling Avenue Observatory.
4.)  The South Azimuth will be removed because the hospital has to widen Maple Drive. The North Azimuth was removed when Carling Avenue was widened many years ago.
5.)  The hospital wants more than 50 acres of land in order to expand, they are building laboratories, medical offices, housing for interns, research facilities, etc.
