From the outside, the Canada Training Centre in Kemptville, Ont., 50 kilometres south of downtown Ottawa, looked like nondescript military barracks.
Looks like a fire hazard to me. Really.
According to inspection reports produced between 1997 and 2007, there was asbestos in building materials, including "the ceilings and floor tiles, roof and siding shingles, drywall tape and plaster." Silica was used "in concrete and bricks throughout the building."
Drywall tape and plaster? Drywall tape is paper, and you don't put plaster on drywall. Silica? Silica means ground sand and you can't make concrete without it and 95% of the brick throughout the world contains it. I know there was asbestos siding and asbestos shingles in the 1940s and 1950s, also ceiling tiles. Never heard of asbestos floor tiles though.
