1.) The City of Ottawa filed an application to re-zone 12 acres of donated land on the Experimental Farm, from Agricultural Research Area to General Urban Area.
 ( "City files re-zoning application for new Ottawa Civic Campus", CBC News, August 18, 2017.) General Urban Area zoning permits uses that may generate traffic, noise or other impacts that have the potential to create conflicts with the surrounding community.

 All of the land within the red lines is part of the NCC real estate deal with a health care facility. Agricultural research is conducted in the K.W. Neatby Building and CFIA Lab, 960 Carling. The buildings are two minutes away from the Dominion Observatory campus on Maple Drive.

2.)  "The City of Ottawa is hoping to buy a parcel of land on (289) Carling Avenue near Dow's Lake for a dollar, so the lot can be used for a new supportive housing complex." (CBC News, October 25, 2016.)
3.)  Paul Martin Senior Federal Building, Windsor, Ontario.
4.)  CBC Jarvis Street Headquarters, Toronto, Ontario.
