OTTAWA, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- A 7-year-old, $5.7 million pavilion near
the Canadian prime minister's residence is sitting vacant because
it's riddled with mold, the Ottawa Citizen reported.
The building served as the "Canada and the World Pavilion" with
various displays and exhibits but closed in 2005 due to public
indifference, the newspaper said.
The National Capital Commission oversees the building and tried to
lure Governor General's office to make use of the impressive and
picturesque facility at the confluence of the Rideau Canal and
Ottawa River.
However, an engineer from Public Works and Government Services
Canada examined the building and issued a warning.
"There is a high risk to the Crown (government) to proceed with this
project," engineer Joseph Wong reported. "This facility presents a
risk for developing significant mold-related problems that can
induce allergies and other health and comfort problems."
Wong said the area's high water table hadn't been taken into account
when the facility was built.
"This problem will never go away," he said.
Quicker and to the point
