Parliament of Canada - The Senate

** Please note that this is a legacy video. Centre Block temporarily closed for rehabilitation in 2019. Visit learn.parl.ca for information about the current sites of the Senate and the House of Commons. **

In the Senate Chamber, at the east end of the Centre Block, red carpeting and upholstery and a ceiling of gold leaf decorate the place where our Head of State meets Parliament.

The Senate Chamber abounds with artistic expressions of Canada's history and heritage. These works of art serve to remind Senators of the people and country they serve. Of particular note are the eight magnificent paintings that adorn the Senate's walls; they commemorate the sacrifice made by Canadians during World War I and Canada's evolution towards full independence.
