The people of Canada are losing an oasis, a treasure in Ottawa.

 Documents were signed that guarantee the destruction of the 1,000 acre Farm.

"A Capital City belongs to a certain extent to the whole country, and should not be placed in such a position that any one man, or company of men, can have it in their power to seriously mar its beauty, and thus throw discredit on the nation. As a Capital City, the parks and open spaces should be numerous, and ample boulevards and parkways should skirt the different waterways as well as connect the principal parks and the different public bridges." The Todd Report, 1903.


RIP:
