Views From The High Ground

Here on Parliament Hill is the Summer Pavilion, a lovely structure for a break and taking in the views.


Nearby, a series of panels, and room for more. This is the Canadian Police And Peace Officers Memorial. Names are inscribed of officers who have fallen in the line of duty. Each September, there is a national service of remembrance here.


Here we see West Block. At present, the House of Commons is meeting inside.


There is a rise of land overlooking both Centre and West Block, the highest ground on the Hill. Queen Victoria has a statue here.


Nearby, another of our great prime ministers, Lester Pearson.


To the west, the Confederation and Justice Blocks, and the Supreme Court. 



And we finish with a statue of Prime Minister Robert Borden.
