Surplus government land and buildings.

"The state's estate. Devaluing and revaluing "surplus" public land in Canada...Since the mid-1990's public real property in Canada has been subject to regular scrutiny through bureaucratic procedures aimed at ridding the state's estate of all 'surplus' properties...Canadian public land is being privatized though devaluation and revaluation by the state" by Heather Whiteside.

 House of Commons July 6, 1903 Sir Robert Borden- (when the Chateau Laurier bought a section of Major's Hill Park) "The park is a portion of the national domain and a portion of the grounds of parliament hill."

The land was destined for Major's Hill Park after the temporary buildings were removed. The photo is from "Dreams of Major's Hill Park-1969-1970."
