The Lebreton Flats were designated a National Interest Land Mass in 1988, they were supposed to be owned by the citizens of Canada forever. Google: 1988-09-15-tb-re-ncc. Lebreton is an acceptable location for museums, art galleries, commemorative gardens, Canada Day festivities, Government of Canada buildings, playgrounds, a National Park, etc.
Also:
Who gave the National Capital Commission the authority to GIVE AWAY 14 acres of federal, Crown property to the municipality of Ottawa? Members of the NCC board are selected from all across Canada, because they represent all the citizens of this country---we are the landowners who are being cheated out of our rightful inheritance. During the early 1980's I used to walk by the Chateau Laurier Hotel on my way to work and I would sometimes think:
        "I own this hotel, and so did my ancestors.And if I ever have children they will own this property too." Well that will never happen now.
