Description: An icon of Canadian democracy and a workplace of parliamentarians, the Centre Block has inspired millions of people who have visited Parliament Hill. From the time it opened in 1920, only minor repairs had been made to this iconic Canadian building. Short-term fixes were no longer a cost-effective option for preserving the building; the Centre Block needed major repairs to bring it up to modern safety, environmental and accessibility standards and to make the building functional for parliamentarians. This is the largest, most complex heritage rehabilitation project ever seen in Canada and is one of the largest in the world.
