The Department of National Defence (DND) has owned the land occupied by Royal Roads University since acquiring it from the Dunsmuir family during the Second World War, but according to Jessica Lamirande, senior communications officer with the DND, the department no longer "has an operational need for the Royal Roads property" and is "considering various options for disposal."
The university or the property's heritage buildings won't be affected, Lamirande added.
Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton disclosed this information at a December council meeting.
Esquimalt Nation and Songhees First Nation have expressed interest in the land and negotiations are ongoing. Both bands have identified the property as a core part of their claimed traditional territory. It's unclear how long the negotiations will take and what effect a transfer of ownership might have on the abundant trails and green space on the property.
For comparison, same scale.
