The Ottawa Hospital Corporation will probably need Commissioners Park for parking:"There's a high probability that car arrivals at the campus in 2028 will far exceed parking capacity. The impact of this parking shortage on staff, patients and visitors, as well as neighbourhoods will be severe...My best guess is that mitigation will eventually include TOH asking the NCC for more acreage on the Experimental Farm, probably in the Arboretum and along Maple Drive and even in Commissioners Park for another parking garage and more surface parking lots." (From: The Glebe Report-Risk management and the new Civic Hospital, March 17, 2022.)

| Sylvia Holden Park at Lansdowne in Ottawa. During the summer of 2012, all 165 mature trees in the park were destroyed. The videos " Lansdowne Park tree cutting" and "Tree cutting protest at Lansdowne Park, Sylvia Holden Park" are on YouTube. The photo is from The Glebe Report. |
Member of Parliament for Ottawa Centre Yasir Naqvi was the MPP for Ottawa Centre during the Lansdowne controversy. Is Mr. Naqvi really going to save what is left of the Experimental Farm?
