The NCC confirms to CTV News Ottawa it completed the purchase of the 41.8 acres of property at the corner of Notch and Kingsmere roads for $3.9 million at the end of March.
"This land is part of the Ecological Land Mass (ELM) and trails are currently used by residents," the NCC said.

Dunnderosa Golf Course is adjacent to the Gatineau Park boundaries in Old Chelsea.
