Housing adjacent to the Queensway Carleton.

 "Much concern about the future of greenspace around the Queensway Carleton hospital if it is transferred to management under the NCC's Urban Lands portfolio." (page 17/124 of the Greenbelt Master Plan Review-LAND USE CONCEPT-Prepared for the NCC January 2012.)

"Ramifications of removing certain parcels from the Greenbelt were not well understood. There is concern about the "buildable site area" designation and and possible removal of the lands adjacent to the Qualicum community and the Queensway Carleton hospital."

"Area by the Queensway Carleton hospital should remain Greenbelt. It is a natural area used for recreation too."

Public Consultation Methodology Three public consultations, open to all members of the public were held, which saw a range of attendees:

•  Representatives of community associations (Bridlewood, Kanata Lakes, Trend-Arlington, Merivale Gardens)
• Members of the Ottawa Forest and Greenspace Advisory Committee
• Royal Galipeau MP; Rainer Bloess and Alan Hubley, City Councillors; representatives from the Greenbelt Coalitions; members of the organization JustFood; as well as concerned citizens and representatives from First Nations communities attended. 

Taxpayers of Canada are on the hook for affordable housing built on federal property---including 45 acres at the National Defence Medical Centre, 1745 Alta Vista Drive. Many social housing sites were privatized:

• Lebreton Flats---A federal agency called Wartime Housing Limited built residences for Canadian World War 11 veterans in 1946. All of the residents of Lebreton were evicted during the early 1960's. 
• Regent Park, Toronto
• Eldon Hall Place, Kingston
