A National Capital Commission document called "The Plan for Canada's Capital, 2017-2067" page 40/95."The Central Experimental Farm, established in 1886, is a unique working farm in the heart of an urban region. The Experimental Farm is open to the public throughout the year, along with the adjacent 26-hectare Arboretum."
"This central asset of the Capital's urban green space network contributes to biodiversity and reinforces the link from the Rideau Canal to the Ottawa River ecosystems. In the coming years the long-term ecological and scientific outlook for preserving the Central Experimental Farm and the Arboretum should be revalidated in an update to the existing 2005 master plan... The national institutions discussed above (such as Health Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Natural Resources Canada and the National Research Council) combine to create a distinctively Canadian experience for residents and visitors to the Capital."
"Over the next 50 years, the social and cultural fabric of the Capital will be enriched by the evolution of these institutions. The NCC respects these venerable institutions and will support their future expansion as required."
