Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Lawrence Cannon, Min. of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.
WHEREAS the Government of Canada has declared the federally owned land formerly used by the Agricultural Research Station redundant
WHEREAS the total revenue from selling said land would, in the national scheme of things, be insignificant
WHEREAS there exists no shortage (quite the contrary) of privately owned developmental land around Charlottetown and no dire need for public suburban development.
WHEREAS the Province of Prince Edward Island has a limited land base and the least green space per capita in the whole country
WHEREAS Prince Edward Islanders are unlikely, due to distance and means, to benefit from Government of Canada created great National Parks in the Western and Northern parts of our vast country
WHEREAS our National Capital of Ottawa is blessed with a green belt around it, the opportunity has come for Canada to do the same for The Confederation Capital , Charlottetown, albeit on a much smaller scale.
WHEREAS the location of parts of the land cited above is of environmental significance as it is, on one side, adjacent to a green area and for long stretches runs along the banks of the North River, and is of esthetic importance as the green fields are adjacent on both sides to the Trans Canada Highway where it enters the City of Charlottetown,
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, individuals and organizations request that above mentioned land be set aside for preservation for the enjoyment and health of future generations.
