Parliament Hill
Visit the centre stage of Canadian democracy! During your guided tour of the Centre Block, you may see the Senate and the House of Commons, the Hall of Honour and the Library of Parliament. Your tour will begin in the Visitor Welcome Centre. While you wait for our guided visit to begin, you can explore a small varied-media exhibit which describes the history, roles and functions of Canada’s parliamentarians.
Top off your visit to the Parliament with a view of Canada’s Capital Region from the Peace Tower observation deck. Groups can also visit the Memorial Chamber, which houses a special collection of books commemorating Canada’s war dead. In the Footsteps of Great Canadians is an outdoor guided tour that leads visitors to statues of former Prime Ministers, helps people discover how these historic figures shaped Canada’s past, present and future and reveals the national significance of their actions. Learn more about the themes, visions and achievements of five great Prime Ministers.
