Re: Civic Hospital To Be Rebuilt on Experimental Farm Property, Ottawa Citizen, November 3, 2014

"Although I support building a new Civic campus of The Ottawa Hospital, I am against the development of Canada’s historic Central Experimental Farm.

It is a national gem.

What is the point of a national historic site if not protection? Should we allow condos in our national parks?"

Patricia E. Varette, Ottawa
