Hectares versus square metres

[edit]

Someone flipped the areal measurements over to "square metres" and someone else flipped them right back to hectares. But if you read the Wiki article on hectares, you find that hectares aren't actually an official unit and are used mostly out of convention. If so, we might want to reconsider its use here.

The conversion produced the affirmation that the area was "270,000 square metres, 80,000 square metres of which [...]" which seemed to me to introduce an element of precision to the article that was not there. Have we surveyed the site to ensure that it is 80,000 square metres, and not 79,986? The documentation around this project all mentions the area in hectares (for example). I have changed the text in such a way that I hope will satisfy the fans of the hectare, the fans of the square metre, and old sticks-in-the-mud like yours truly who are still fond of the acre. - Grstain 19:09, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! That version works for me.

Centre CDP Capital

[edit]

Can someone confirm that the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec has been renamed to CDP Capital? It is nowhere on the CDPQ website, even though it is the first search result that came up when typing "CDP Capital" in Google. Meanwhile, I flagged it as "dubious" and as needing a citation. Thanks.  CET  ♔  00:41, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
