Parliament Hill

The Buildings and Grounds of Parliament are Iconic Symbols of Canada

Parliament Hill is home to Canada's federal legislature and is an iconic symbol of our country's commitment to democracy and peace.

Each year, it welcomes over 1.5 million visitors and hosts a number of high-profile events.

It is a part of Public Works and Government Services Canada's mandate to provide sound stewardship of the Parliamentary Precinct, which includes Parliament Hill and a number of other buildings, on behalf of Canadians.

As the custodian of the Parliamentary Precinct, the Department is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of its tenants and visitors, as well as preserving its cultural heritage.

Rehabilitation projects are currently being carried out in the Parliamentary Precinct to bring its grounds and buildings into the 21st century.
