"Removal of the walls and many of the existing buildings is required."

 "Elements of the southern cruciform (workshops) should be conserved and adaptively re-used for commercial and/or residential purposes. The West Workshop is an important heritage building, however in considering future development opportunities, it may be necessary to substantially alter or remove this building."

Residential (South) "While this area is supportive of the heritage value of the former penitentiary, it is considered the least important with respect to retention and adaptive re-use of existing structures. The lake and harbour are not visible from within the former penitentiary. In order to create a residential community that is open, accessible and connected to the waterfront, removal of the walls and many of the existing buildings is required in the southern part of the penitentiary." (Portsmouth Visioning-Former Kingston Penitentiary and Portsmouth Harbour.)

Google: CBC Radio All in a Day, 2017: "Sailing Centre, waterfront park touted for Kingston Penitentiary redevelopment". Three of the four perimeter walls will be removed, and the guard towers retained "if possible." 

Corrections Canada is prohibiting the construction of buildings within the red lines.

The park will be accessible to the public.

Correctional Service of Canada-Kingston Harbourfront Property-Environmental Assessment Result. Update  After the environmental assessment and risk assessment were completed, clean up options were presented to the CSC. The option chosen was to excavate and replace the impacted soil so that the land could be revitalized and restored to green space. The re mediated area will no longer be leased for boat slips or long-term boat storage, so the refreshed space  will be open for the public to have access to and enjoy! 2015-16-29.

 Corrections Canada never wanted residential properties on the Harbourfront, see the photo on this blog post--- the restricted land is outlined with red lines. The Penitentiary parking lot is also targeted for housing. Also, the purple and pink areas are the focus of intense redevelopment. Buildings C-1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 9; 13; 23 and 24 are within the purple and pink area.

Trying to preserve a national treasure.

January 31, 2005 - Mayor of Kingston Bryan Paterson told Global News that "This particular property has huge benefits for tourism and film and we want to make sure that isn't impacted." (Aaron D'Andrea, Global News,)

 The Hon. Mark Gerretsen, MP for Kingston and the Islands: "At the municipal level, Kingston Mayor Mark Gerretsen said he wants the site to be preserved, but he's more focused on what the closing means for prison workers." (Ottawa puts a $17.6 million dollar price tag on Kingston Penitentiary" by Carys Mills, Globe and Mail, May 20, 2012.)

"The Kingston Pen is Canada's Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal."

The Pen is a National Historic Site of Canada, and the Main Cell Block and North Lodge are Classified Heritage buildings: 

Properties in Portsmouth Village in Kingston are protected by the Ontario Heritage Act:

A statement about the Pen by the Hon. Mark Gerretsen, Member of Parliament for Kingston and the Islands: "What happens to that site, in my opinion, really should be up to the residents of Kingston, considering the fact that it is federal property." (Q and A with Kingston and the Islands MP Mark Gerretsen, by Ian McAlpine, Whig Standard, February 7, 2016.)

 Possible future of the landmark: 

There is massive opposition to the demolition of the buildings: "The Pen is one of the most historic, famous landmarks in the world---Canada's Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal. Yet plans are already being made to level buildings and remove walls to permit the construction of housing, new pathways and roads. Will Kingston be a tourism mecca, when the Pen, Prison for Women, Stone Gables, Isabel McNeill House, Collins Bay Institution and Rockwood Asylum are gone? Collins Bay Institution is known as "Disneyland North." (City of Kingston-Projects-Planning-Kingston Penitentiary June 2017, page 23/59.) 

Collins Bay is located on 1455 Bath Road. It is a Federal Heritage Building. 

Bill Glover, a Sydenham city councillor: "It's not inconceivable that they could level the whole site." ("Group tries to get Kingston Penitentiary heritage status" by Peter Hendra, Toronto Sun September 2012.)

Floyd Patterson, President of the Frontenac Heritage Foundation: "The federal government has the power to demolish them (all the Kingston Pen buildings). However, we have concluded that would be absolutely atrocious, grievous, scandalous." (Group tries to get Kingston Penitentiary heritage status" by Peter Hendra, Toronto Sun September 2012.)

Local historian Jennifer McKendry said that 10 buildings are slated for demolition. (Concern raised regarding Penitentiary planning process, by the Coalition of Kingston Communities.) Books by Jennifer McKendry:

History of Portsmouth Village

Enough

Canada is one of the biggest countries in the world. But the citizens of this country are losing irreplaceable land and buildings because of a housing shortage. Properties that will be used for housing include:

A National Historic Site in Kingston - the Kingston Penitentiary.

The Directory of Federal Real Property 1992.

The Greenbelt - the City of Ottawa wanted 13,700 acres of this untouchable land for development.

Athletic arenas and fields - a football field behind the Nepean Sportsplex; Rochester Field beside Maplelawn was a venue for soccer players; a baseball stadium on 300 Coventry Road; the Ottawa Athletic Club was demolished. The DARA Tennis Club on the Experimental Farm is gone. A petition: To save Ottawa's single pad ice rinks-Change.org "The City of  Ottawa wants to close Tom Brown, Dulude, Belltown Dome, McNabb and a few other arenas in the city. These rinks are not only useful but a home for many Minor Hockey Leagues and its players as well as the communities they are located in." The petition had 7,212 signatures.

Ottawa eyes 20 sites for affordable housing development by Geraldine Grones, April 1, 2019 "The Tom Brown Arena, Bob MacQuarrie recreation complex and a baseball stadium on Coventry Road could one day be redeveloped into affordable housing, according to the City of Ottawa. Also on the list: the RCMP Complex on the Vanier Parkway; a 2.4 hectare site in Barrhaven; a small gas station site on Richmond Road; the Forward Family Shelter in Mechanicsville and Park and Rides at Greenboro and Place d'Orleans."

The Pen is a location for music videos and tv shows.

  "Hold Back the River" by Miss Emily, "Leave it All Behind" by the Headstones, and "Small Minds by Vera Sola" by Danielle Aykroyd were all filmed in the Kingston Pen. A Tragically Hip song entitled "He's 38 years old, never kissed a girl" is about a Millhaven inmate. "Time Off for Good Behavior" is a Neil Young song. The videos are on YouTube.

An episode of Murdoch Mysteries, and Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood were taped in the prison.

Alias Grace at 555 King Street West.

Historic properties in Kingston, Ontario will be converted to housing.

 The Kingston Penitentiary, 560 King Street West The buildings were created with limestone and will stand for thousands of years---similar to the 2,600 year old limestone Pyramids of Giza.

The prison is a National Heritage Building and a Listed Property of Cultural and Heritage Value.(PDF City of Kingston Heritage Properties Register.) The 40 buildings, guard towers and perimeter walls are facing demolition. "Selective demolition of the Main Walls can provide entrances for automobiles and buses." (Page 74, City of Kingston-Projects-Kingston Penitentiary and Portsmouth Olympic Harbour)

One of the guard towers:

The Ontario Regional Headquarters, 440 King Street West

Isabel MacNeill Halfway House, 525 King Street West

The home of the Deputy Warden of Kingston Penitentiary, then a minimum security prison and a halfway house. A Federal Heritage Building protected by Part 1V of the Ontario Heritage Act. The designation covers the exterior and interior of the residence. Residents of the Isabel MacNeill house were opposed to the closure of the property: House of Commons Ottawa April 18, 2007 Mrs. Irene Mathyssen (London-Fanshawe, NDP.) "Mr. Speaker, the government recently announced the closure of Canada's only minimum security prison for women. The Isabel McNeill House provides a transitional environment for incarcerated women offenders. It provides training to enhance their employment skills.
The inmates at the prison had to take the government to court and challenge the closure under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This is an equality issue and another example of the government's disregard for the welfare of women."

St. Helen's Complex, 440 King Street West 

The former Regional Headquarters for Correctional Services of Canada. The Classified Federal Heritage Building is protected by Part 1V of the Ontario Heritage Act. The designation covers the exterior and interior of the building.

Stone Gables is part of the St. Helen's Complex and is located at 462 King Street West:

Designated and protected by Part 1V of the Ontario Heritage Act which covers the exterior and interior of the limestone building. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Intension to pass a Bylaw to Designate 462 King Street West, also known as Stone Gables to be of Cultural Heritage Value and Interest - November 25, 2014. Pursuant to the Provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act. (R.S.0. 1990.)

"Once the federal government ceases to own St. Helen's and Stone Gables, the federal heritage protection will be removed, making it susceptible to demolition or remodeling." (MHC-14-017-City of Kingston.)

  Parks Canada News Release, Ottawa, Ontario,  January 15, 2025

"Today, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, announced the designation of the Dominion Observatory Complex as a national historic site under Parks Canada's National Program of Historical Commemoration." Comments from:

The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada: "For 65 years, the Dominion Observatory Complex was an important centre of research and collaboration in the fields of astronomy, geophysics, seismology and gravitational studies. The precision of its master clock was also instrumental in setting official time standards across the country. Today's designation as a national historic site allows us to share important stories about our cultural heritage and stands as a testament to Canada's ingenuity and dedication in pursuing scientific excellence."

Yasir Naqvi, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health and Member of Parliament for Ottawa Centre: "Located at the site of the Central Experimental Farm, the Dominion Observatory Complex is a celebrated landmark. Designating this complex as a national historic site not only highlights it historical and architectural essence but also serves as a reminder of our past achievements and an inspiration for future generations to value science and the rich tapestry of our shared history."

Stephen Nourse, past president on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Ottawa Centre: "We are ecstatic that this complex so integral to the furtherance of astronomical and earth sciences in Canada has finally received the heritage designation it deserves. This site is currently celebrating 120 years and we are delighted that future generations will have access to it, to appreciate the wonderful buildings and to learn the rich history of all the dedicated men and women who did groundbreaking work here."

More comments from the public.

Page 31/53  "Please do not break up the Central Experimental Farm. As the Nation's Capital we should have a 'Central Park' and the Farm is the only land that is not yet undeveloped."

"Don't touch the farm. Ottawa has the Central Experimental Farm, which is an invaluable green and agricultural space located in the urban core. What other urban core wouldn't wish to have such a treasure?" 

Page 37/53 "Pinecrest Creek and the Experimental Farm should not even be considered as they are providing essential green space/natural ecosystem in the city core ."

"Please don't destroy any more greenspace in the middle of the city." 

"My preferred option is to stay away from prime farmland. We will never get the farmland back, and future expansion and parking will keep chipping away at a prime land resource."

"People need green space. It reduces stress, encourages exercise and counteracts greenhouse gas emissions. I believe we will find more and more evidence on how important it is for peoples' mental and physical health. Ottawa needs to put more importance on preserving its existing green space, instead of viewing it as land available for development."

"Don't destroy green space for a parking lot."

"Please do not encroach on scientific uses of the experimental farm. Food security is as important as health care."

Page 38/53 "There's no reason to 'pave paradise and put up a parking lot', even for a hospital. No more land is going to appear downtown period. Why wouldn't we re-use someplace we have already built upon?"

Page 40/53 "In my view the Experimental Farm is untouchable! Food research/agriculture is the first 'health care' priority that a community and a nation must have. To build a parking lot on the Experimental Farm would be a travesty."

"The Experimental Farm should be off limits. It is an important research site and should not be sacrificed."

"It seems to me to be very short-sighted to consider taking land from the Experimental Farm. Agriculture and agriculture research will continue to be important in our future. Choosing another location may cause inconvenience to the hospital, but that is all they are. Once that farm land and research is gone, it is gone forever."

"I would be very disappointed if experimental farm lands were used for this new hospital. Ottawa has done a terrible job of protecting green space and it continues to be eaten up at an appalling rate."

"It is inconceivable that any portion of the Experimental Farm would be compromised for the hospital. The Farm provides sustenance for the body to prevent hospital stays." (All information is from "Public Consultation on the Ottawa Hospital Site Review" November 4, 2016.)

The National Interest Land Mass.

The Agricultural Experimental Farm belongs to ALL Canadians, not just to the residents of Ottawa. "Taking away a 42 H. portion of the Farm, cutting down 500+ trees and building a modern hospital with its intense night lighting and ambulance and patient traffic will destroy the peace and serenity of the Arboretum, Farm and Gardens. It will negatively impact people, wildlife and farm animals. The 'Farm' is a defining part of our nation's capital. It is unique to Ottawa, no other capital has one within its boundaries. The Agricultural Experimental Farm belongs to ALL Canadians, not just to the residents of Ottawa and it should not be up to the City of Ottawa to decide to start its destruction and demise." (Google: The Ottawa Hospital Master Plan, Engage Ottawa.)

This bill involves a great deal of Canada: 31 national parks, 786 historical sites, a number of historical canal systems (Rideau Canal), 661 sites that are managed by third parties that are ecologically or environmentally significant, 165 heritage railroad stations and 31 river systems."

Mr. Howard Hilstrom (Selkirk-Interlake, Manitoba) Reform: "Mr. Speaker, I am quite interested in the financial aspects of this bill. Is there a possibility of foreign interests getting involved in our parks system?"

Mr. Nelson Riis: "Obviously the answer is yes..."
