The Directory of Federal Real Property is the central record and only complete listing
of real property holdings of the Government of Canada. It is administered by the Real Property and
Materiel Policy Directorate of the Treasury Board Secretariat.
The purpose of the Directory is to maintain a contemporary record of basic information
concerning the real property holdings of the Government of Canada. Information held in the
Directory is used to keep the Government of Canada informed about the scale and major
components of its real property inventory. It is also used to provide information to
ministers, members of Parliament and the general public concerning a specific property or
group of properties within a particular geographic area.
Although all Crown lands in Canada are owned by Her Majesty, the administration of
these lands is assigned to departments, agencies, and Crown corporations to support the
delivery of government programs. These organizations are commonly referred to as
custodians.
This publication is designed to provide basic information concerning federal real
property such as custodian identification, property size, location, and type of legal
interest.
It does not contain any information regarding:
- easements, subsurface and mineral rights;
- mortgages, property held as a surrogate for a mortgage and other forms of securitiy;
- interests in land of less than 0.001 hectares, unless municipal grants are paid on them;
- leasehold interests of less than a year;
- offshore oil and gas lands;
- Crown lands in Yukon or Northwest Territories; (except those being used by a federal
department or agency);
- real property that is an Indian Reserve as defined in the Indian Act, (except that which
is being used by a federal department or agency);
- Bank of Canada holdings;
- Canada Council holdings;
- Canadian Wheat Board holdings; or
- Telefilm Canada holdings.
The Directory is not a registry. Although every effort has been made to ensure the
accuracy of the listings, the Government of Canada makes no representations or warranties
and assumes no liablity with respect to the use of these listings. These listings are not,
under any circumstances, to be used as a substitute for legal property descriptions and
professional legal advice.
