| 2655 | Anonymous | Progress isn't defined solely by erecting buildings. Keeping an observatory and natural habitat for animals close to downtown is a unique feature for a city. Think of the tourists it can draw in or its use in Outdoor Education.

| 2658 | colleen | Poor deer they've just got no where to go anymore...can't we have a little green space in the city..???? Every time we go by there we look for deer. One day we saw a coyote in the field.
I'd like to think that we can preserve a little bit of nature without having to travel and hour or so out of the city to see a field and plott of trees. |

| 2672 | regina | I am sick of this happening so much |
| 2673 | Wendy | How surprised was I to find it might be closing, just when I wanted my son to it this summer. What a disappointment. |

We are surrounded by four major working observatories. Supposedly, we are the astronomy capital of the US. Land developers are coming in, buddying up with town couselors to revamp the desert. The light pollution is becoming a serious problem. Isn't anything sacred anymore????? |

| 2678 | Shahzad Qureshi | why is everything on sale in Canada? The largest telescope in Canada is on sale and I am disappointed that not many ppl care or even know about it. If this was U.S. or Europe, there would've been a huge outcry. Very disappointing UFT. I sincerely hope that the university changes its mind. its not always about making money |

Short-sighted, self-centred behaviour can no longer be considered an acceptable trait in our species, not even by those who, knowing better, still insistent on carving out a piece of the rapidly-diminishing pie. In the context of our plant, we should understand that we are not “slightly-less-than-the-angels”, but more like uppity mammals. |
| 2683 | s.roberts | I was under the impression that the land and buildings were donated to richmond hill/university of toronto to be preserved as land for the use of citizens and not sold or split up.is there any way for this land and other preserved sites to be saved from the wreckers ball?? |

| 2685 | Anne DiLosa | It would be a real shame to lose this facility. |

| 2687 | Steve Adair | Grew up in Toronto, and this was one of my favourite spots, being an astronomy buff, and a member of the R.A.S.C. Many pleasant memories of taking my kids there. Closing this facility is UNTHINKABLE! *Please*..re-consider! |
| 2688 | Anonymous | This is sad. |
| 2689 | Glen Howie | Please, please do NOT sell this land. |

| 2691 | Paul G. Shaw | Yet another reason to not regret moving to Montreal from Toronto nearly 30 years ago. I remember visiting the Observatory as a child. I took my M.A. at U. of T., but actions like this on the part of the University make it look just a bit tarnished; I do hope they will reverse their stand on this ill-conceived project. |

| 2694 | Rod Gossen | Why tear down one of the few remaining treasures that make me want to look up and about, only to replace it with the architectural tripe that makes me want to bury my head. |

| 2700 | Professor Paul Elliott | Read Richard Louv's book "Last Child in the Woods" to understand why spaces such as this need preserving. The observatory itself has great potential as a hand-on science centre to encourage the next generation of scientists. |
