The loss of Queen Juliana Park.

 Before the Department of Public Works and the National Capital Commission gave Queen Juliana Park to a medical centre, the landscape encompassed 14 acres. Now the greenspace, which was a gift from the Trudeau government to the people of Canada in 1976, will be privatized. (Google: City of Ottawa Planning Committee: Stop the Rezoning of Parks to Condos.)

The green roof on a parking garage: "A 5-acre green roof called Queen Juliana Park is proposed for use by the public and accessible from Preston Street, Carling Avenue, Dow's Lake Station, the Research Building and Hospital." (Google: "New Civic Development for the Ottawa Hospital, August 5, 2021" page 16/83, webcastottawa.ca.)

QJP was 5.5883 hectares or nearly 14 acres. See the "Federal Directory of Real Property" website, property number 24426.
