LOL... "Health" ?

I kid you not.

Edit: My apologies for originally titling this post "Veteran's Affairs" - I had the wrong department. This is even more poignant.

I hope that is due to renovations in progress?

The buildings have not been occupied for some time and I believe are soon to be demolished. They have also been privately owned for quite a while.

Thanks Andrew for chiming in. It was hard to tell if it was a functioning building as it was the weekend. There was no one there, even in the little shopping mall/restaurant area next to it.

Yep, very quiet around there on the weekend. I did actually work in that building some years ago. Interestingly, a colleague has told me that it does get a little use currently as an urban environment training ground for the AFP (and others?). Might be an urban myth...
