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.
