Major's Hill Park (the City of Ottawa recently inquired about "the future" of Major's Hill Park after the NCC announced that major changes were forthcoming---regarding integration with the Chateau Laurier, the impact of a new addition on Tulip Festival and Canada Day celebrations, etc.) Current Design of the Addition and Impacts on NCC Lands "While the majority of the work will be situated within the existing Chateau Laurier Hotel property limits, there will be implications to the adjacent NCC lands and assets, which surround the proposed addition on the east, north and west sides. Permanent impacts include: 1.) Alterations to Mackenzie Avenue (Confederation Boulevard.) 2.) Alterations to Major's Hill Park, including soft and hard landscape, to provide direct pedestrian access and facilitate the link to/from the publicly-accessible main floor of the hotel (the Adam Room Corridor) and lobby. 3.) Removal of a small portion of the Upper Rideau Canal Terrace (building shell behind 1 Wellington Street) to allow for an improved link between the upper and lower terraces via the grand staircase and the new interior courtyard."

A 2008 document stated that "there should be no direct access from building (Chateau Laurier) to the park (Majors Hill Park)." (From: "Chateau Laurier Urban Design Guidance" National Capital Commission, page 11/31.)
