Bring the GoC buildings over here to the BIO campus and Shannon Park.
Isn't that the plan? To build a big campus somewhere in the BIO/Shannon Park area for government offices. I thought I heard DFO would be moving out of Marine House, and Environment Canada out of Queen Square. This of course disappointed me. I enjoyed working in downtown Dartmouth, despite the negativity about parts of it, it really is a good place to work. Everything you want is within a 5 minute walk, from drug stores, library, many restaurants and places to get food. Walk across the street and you're in the ferry terminal park where you can sit on a bench eating your lunch in the sun, watching the ships go by. I ate my lunch there many, many times. Do you have opportunities like that at Shannon Park?
But then I heard that PWGSC is renewing the lease on EC's space in Queen Square for a number of years, so I guess I shall enjoy working in downtown Dartmouth again, if I ever work there again that is...
We were told that as well at one time.
Where it is now, I am not sure. I imagine trying to get the various departments on line with it, as well as the "constant" changing government and their priorities is part of the lack of progress.
