The Farm may be designated a Cultural Heritage Landscape.

 Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act will protect the endangered buildings, 680 trees, Queen Juliana Park, views of the Rideau Canal, the Arboretum, Ornamental Gardens, the multi-million dollar Dow's Lake parking lot and agricultural fields.

The Arboretum and property along Baseline Road. "It has come to our attention that the City of Ottawa is proposing to claim three meters of the CEF's southern border along Baseline Road for a rapid transit route. Moreover, it is understood that a portion of the Arboretum, next to the O-Train line, will be dug up to double track that portion of the transit route, although this area will be replanted." (From: A letter to the Hon. Catherine McKenna, Minister Responsible for the Historic Sites and Monuments Board and Federal Heritage Review Board, from Judy Dodds, President, Friends of the Central Experimental Farm, January 16, 2018.) Note: The Arboretum Woods, Central Experimental Farm Woods and Prince of Wales Woods (CEF) are protected areas Google: "Urban natural features strategy City of Ottawa, April 11, 2006, Category 1."

The government of Ontario intervened when the federal government tried to demolish the Booth Barn."It is the recommendation of the Board that the Booth Barn complex, Central Experimental Farm (Building #114-118) be designated by by-law under Part 1V of the Ontario Heritage Act." (From: The Conservation Review Board of the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation. The article can be found in Heritage Ottawa, Volume 24, No. 1, October 1996.)

An Ottawa Citizen article, December 20, 1996.

The Booth Barn.50 of the Farm's 82 buildings were slated for demolition in 1996. (Heritage Ottawa 1997.)

Buildings that are currently at risk. The Dominion Observatory and South Azimuth. During the early 1970's an astronomer named Arthur Covington wrote a letter to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau asking the PM to save the Observatory, which he did. The medical centre recently flattened the Sir John Carling Building cafeteria annex.

The 2014 Ontario Provincial Policy Statement: Purpose"Heritage conservation involves identifying, protecting and promoting the elements that our community values. A Cultural Heritage Impact Statement (CHIA) is the main heritage planning mechanism to assess and review the cultural heritage significance of a particular resource, consider the impact of any proposed site redevelopment or alteration and recommend a general approach that best protects/conserves identified cultural heritage resources."

The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement under the Planning Act-2.3. Agriculture. 2.3.1." Prime agricultural areas shall be protected for long-term use for agriculture."

The Dow's Lake parking lot is worth more than $4 million dollars according to Member of Parliament Pierre Poilievre. "The National Capital Commission land ownership is known as the Dow's Lake parking lot at the southwest corner of Carling Avenue and Preston Street with an assessed value of $4,021,000." The property should still be owned by all Canadians and not by a mega hospital or inhabitants of a brand-new Carling Village-savecfbrockcliffe. (Google: "Dow's lake parking lot assessed value"---Exact phrase "Dow's Lake parking lot" ---untitled Pierre Poilievre.)
