In my opinion, the following sites are in dire need of protection from redevelopment and demolition.
1.) Wellington Street buildings across from Parliament Hill. The government of Canada has launched an international design competition to modernize the Parliamentary Precinct. The I.M. Pei Company and an architectural firm from Spain have already signed onto the project.
The I.M. Pei Company from New York City designed the Louvre Pyramid in Paris, France. |
4.) The 1,000 government lighthouses that were abandoned by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
5.) Sussex Drive, "Ottawa's Mile of History" - the following buildings are on a list of properties that the government of Canada plans to divest:
Connaught or Revenue Canada Building
Lester B. Pearson Building/ External Affairs.
Former Ottawa City Hall. John G. Diefenbaker Building.

He told the driver to stop the car, told the workers to go home and made phone calls to find out what was going on. The article is by Susan Delacourt.
