The Pineview Golf Course was part of the federal Greenbelt. (Reposting)

 House of Commons Ottawa May 25, 2010 MP Marcel Proulx (Hull-Aylmer, Lib.):"...The Liberal members of the National Capital Region, the member for Ottawa-Vanier, the member for Ottawa South and I as Liberal members of Parliament, have good reason to call for enhanced protection of the greenbelt. There are, as a matter of fact, no major regulations protecting this area. Together the City of Ottawa and the NCC can do what they like with it. We believe that this greenspace must be protected from developers."

Greenbelt holdings are also protected by the designation National Interest Land Mass, approved by the Treasury Board of Canada in 1988.NILM land cannot be subdivided, sold, or transferred to an entity such as a municipality, province, foreign government or developer. They must be owned by the Canadian federal government (the citizens of Canada) in perpetuity. (Google: 1988-09-15-TB-re-NCC Land Holdings.)  The city wants 13,700 acres of the land. "The City of Ottawa has identified more than 13,700 acres of the Greenbelt that could be developed." (From: Ottawa Greenbelt Development Under Review" June 17, 2008.)

The Greenbelt is a living memorial to Canadians who gave their lives during World War Two.

"The Greenbelt consists of over 20,000 hectares of green space, forming a crescent-shaped band that surrounds the nation's capital. It is a living symbol of Canada's rural landscape and ecological sensitive areas-with a mix of farms, forests and wetlands-which also provides an important space for recreational uses, federal institution and research facilities.

"The Greenbelt is like an "Emerald Necklace" and exists as a living war memorial to the Canadians who gave their lives in the Second World War. Starting at Shirley's Bay just north of Kanata, it circles through Stoney Swamp and Pinhey Forest, then continues east through the experimental farm, where it arcs back northward through the Mer Bleue and then follows Green's Creek to the Ottawa River. The Greenbelt reaches over a distance of 45 kilometers and ranges in width from two to ten kilometers. The National Capital Commission (NCC)has begun a review of the 1996 Greenbelt Master Plan, which guides how the Greenbelt is used, managed and protected, now and in the future. NCC staff will be at the following locations to provide information, answer questions and receive comments." (From: HAVE YOUR SAY ABOUT THE GREENBELT'S FUTURE!
