2760 AnonymousI am a thirteen year old and our school always does their track and field in this park and this park means so much to our school( 16th Ave. public school.) Please stop this madness.
2761 Sunny TamWhat a magnificant observatory! Please preserve it.
2762 Shaun OvertonI feel strongly enough that, if the university ignores this petition and proceeds with the sale, I will withdraw any future support for the U of T. I will also boycott any developer that chooses to purchase the lands unless the observatory is retained as a working facility and the lands maintained as protected green space.

2764 Jason BusbyI attend UofT, and this is very Shameful.

2772 AnonymousPlease do not wreck national history. This observatory should be preserved as history and the greenland around it is beautiful! I cannot believe this could happen in the GTA in this time of going "green." This is why I moved north 2 years ago. Toronto and the GTA just do not care about anything natural, just big box stores and more houses.
2773 Chris KempDestroying this site would be destroying part of Canada's heritage. Please don't do this.
2774 Devi DunnPlease preserve this Heritage of Canada. We should not destroy this site as it has served as a useful and most valuable place for Scientist and others here locally and globally. It is a place of rememberance and should be protected by UNESCO.

2777 Jo-Anne YoungThis is an important part of Toronto, Ontario and Canada's history. We must start saving our past and our historic buildings.

2779 Michael DuzSurely there is someone on the University of Toronto's Governing Council with a brain and the guts to say no!
2780 Greg Hoganthis is a unique and irreplaceable natural area. houses and stores can easily go somewhere else.
2781 AnonymousWhy can't anyone seem to find a way to allow for both advances and respect of heritage.
2782 Elizabeth SmolskaSave this observatory
2783 Norman HattonAs a great institution of intellects, it must surely be obvious that UofT must protect this scientific and biological bequest. Please don't allow the commerce to overshadow the value

2786 Dr.Pat J KincaidI am appalled that the University of Toronto has, apparently, no understanding of the significance - historical and environmental - of the observatory and its land.
2787 Werner ValentinPlease preserve this unique observatory with its greenspace.
2788 Daniel Vernon
2789 Sharareh AghlaraPreserve !
2790 Robert WrightIs there no limit to the greed of developers and those government and institution officials that suffer from myopia? It is a terrible combination since it is destroying our heritage to say nothing of contributing to already over-stressed land polution. The Dunlap property has been a landmark since I was a lad and I am just about to pass the 78-year mark. My wife and I recently visited the Jefferson and Madison homesteads in Virginia where the citizens show proper respect for their hard-fought heritage by being generous with their use of parkland. Even with fewer open spaces at their disposal, they continue to be dovoted to perserving areas of historical significance. We, on the other hand, tear down anything older than thirty years. Isn't it about time that we Canadians grew up and listened to the voices of the past instead of current, greedy, Big Business interests? The U of T should be utterly ashamed.
2791 karen maddenWhy get rid of something that means so much to adults, children & students alike ? We can and do all learn so much from this park ! Just leave it alone please ! It is a part of history !
2792 Christine SoloskySave the observatory from being sold! It is a rich addition to the scientific heritage of York Region.
2793 Richard Anthony CrockerThis landmark site needs to be preserved, and indeed continue to be used for astronomical education and research. Too much of our heritage, and green space is being lost for short term profit. This site is of so much significance that it should be a national priority to preserve it.
2794 Gary Burwelli Love the hevens and how better for us all to see them
2795 Nick vannanU of T is only interested in shiny new toys, shameful.

2797 AnonymousSave the David Dunlap Observatory and Park !!!!
2798 B GiggieOnly in Canada is our Heritage for sale to the highest bidder. Have we learned nothing since the the Avro Arrow debacle? When will Canadians stand up against greedy land developers.
2799 Rozhen AsraniThe David Dunlap Observatory should not be sold! It is a proud symbol of Canadian contributions in the field of astronomy not to mention the largest wildlikfe conservation area of its kind anywhere in the vincinity.
2800 Bob MillerThe property was donated the year before I was born and, while attending Richmond Hill High School, I passed the observatory twicE a day on the school bus. But, it is not for sentimental reasons that I believe it should be saved. The land and buildings are historical gems and comprise a realitively green space in a suburban clutter; the telescope and equipment are invaluable and irreplaceable and it is absolutely short sighted and inexcusable for the U of T to have such a cavalier attitude. SAVE THE DUNLAP OBSERVATORY.
