"Direct public connections from the site to the Central Experimental Farm are not included as part of the Master Site Plan."

In other words, tall fences and security guards will separate the hospital from a National Historic Site that was in the public domain for more than 100 years. It gets worse. "Adjacent properties might be developed as compatible research parks for research not only in agriculture." "The Management Plan includes a section on Public Access and Security that requires security measures 'be put in place to separate public use areas versus more private research areas.'" (From: New Civic Development for the Ottawa Hospital, August 2021., page 58/83.) 

Are you building Diefenbunkers? Taking over the Arboretum for the use of medical staff and recovering patients? Demolishing heritage properties like the Booth Barn for the construction of research labs?

The Experimental Farm is:

  • Ottawa's Stanley Park.
  • Ottawa's Central Park.
  • A museum without walls.
  • A jewel in the crown.
  • An oasis during Covid-19.
  • Canada's Farm.
  • Ottawa's Farm.
