More documents that call for the protection of historic landscapes.

1.)  The 1994-1995 Annual Report of the National Capital Commission, page 19/50.

"...Too many modern cities have paid the price of uncontrolled and disharmonious development. That is why Canada's Parliament appointed the NCC to guard against inappropriate design and land use in the Canadian Capital. The Commission has been authorized to examine all applications for design approval, land use changes, realty transactions and demolitions affecting federal property in the region, rejecting those that are inappropriate or suggesting changes to make others acceptable."

2.) Planning for Canada's Capital-A Second Century of Vision, Planning and Development, 1999, page 48/127 pages.

Section 4.7-Built and Landscape Heritage: Goal-Built and landscape heritage that is protected and preserved as an important part of the Capital's cultural milieu.

Context - The built and landscape heritage of national value in Canada's Capital-buildings such as the Parliament Buildings, monuments, heritage landscapes such as the Central Experimental Farm and the Mackenzie King Estate in Gatineau Park and transportation routes.

3.)  Heritage Conservation Districts are protected by Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act.

"...Part V of the OHA allows municipalities to recognize and protect neighbourhoods, rural landscapes, main streets or other areas of special cultural heritage value that have a cohesive sense of time and place. Designated heritage districts often enjoy a renewed cultural and economic vitality not only because district designation highlights their special values but also because they are protected from decay and the intrusion of incompatible structures..."
