Lansdowne Park used to be a publicly owned historic multi-purpose district, prior to its redevelopment Lansdowne Park contained a stadium (Frank Clair Stadium), an exhibition hall (Aberdeen Pavilion hall), and a multi-purpose entertainment hall (Horticulture Building). In September 2007, the Frank Clair Stadium was forced to shut down after cracks were found in the concrete structure, inspectors declared the structure unsafe and ordered immediate evacuation. Although this caused some immediate scheduling problems for local sports teams, Ottawa’s former mayor, Larry O 'Brien welcomed the closure and hinted to possible redevelopment plans for the stadium and surrounding area.

  • Mille Lacs Lake Case Study

    For decades, there has been tension between Native American fishermen and non-native fishermen over the fishing rights on Mille Lacs Lake. This tension has increased, particularly because of the sustainability and quality of Mille Lacs Lake, and the Supreme Court’s ruling in Minnesota against Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians. The Court claimed that the Chippewa Indians retained their rights to hunt and fish on ceded lands as established by the 1837 Treaty of St. Peters. Usufruct rights are rights of enjoyment to another’s property allowing the holder to generate income from the property without obtaining ownership. This right to hunt and fish on ceded lands is further protected from state regulation by the 1837 Treaty of St. Peters.
