The Greenbelt Research Farm in Nepean in 1992.

"As of March 1, 1998, the Greenbelt Research Farm, which covers 2, 965.265 acres of land bordered by Hunt Club, Woodroffe Avenue, Fallowfield Road and Greenbank Road, ceased to function as an Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre. This was announced in the 1995 Federal Budget." (From: National Capital Greenbelt.)


Recommendations from "The Standing Senate Committee on National Finance-Nineteenth Report" Chairman Lowell Murray, June 13, 2003. Recommendation 1 We recommend that the National Capital Commission develop a meaningful public consultation process which would apply to either the disposal or change of use of property held by the Commission. Recommendation 2 We recommend that the Treasury Board rescind its 1991 Real Asset Management Funding Strategy as it relates to the National Capital Commission and that monies received by the Commission for the sale of surplus assets be directed to the Consolidated Revenue Fund as these were assets held for all Canadians.
