The National Capital Commission is removing 40 trees from Maplelawn on Richmond Road.

 Federal parkland that the people of Canada have recently lost, or will lose in the future:

1.)  Rochester Field.

 2.)  Queen Juliana Park, 870 Carling Avenue.

3.)  Commissioners Park - An article in "The Glebe Report" stated that the 22-acre greenspace may be needed for parking by the Ottawa Hospital Corporation.

4.)  Majors Hill Park, which was part of Parliament Hill at one time, and Ordnance and Admiralty land used for the defence of Canada. "Current Design of (Chateau Laurier) Addition and Impacts on NCC Lands" While the majority of the work will be situated within the existing Chateau Laurier property limits, there will be implications to the adjacent NCC lands and assets which surround the proposed addition to the north, east and west sides. Permanent impacts include 1.) Alterations to Mackenzie Avenue (Confederation Boulevard) 2.) Alterations to Majors Hill Park including hard and soft landscape to provide direct pedestrian access and facilitate the link to/from the publicly accessible main floor of the hotel."

The National Capital Commission sold several acres of Majors Hill Park to the American Embassy.

Politicians and community groups fought to save:

1.) Lazy Bay Commons, Mechanicsville.

2.) The Mile Circle near Rockcliffe.
