Completed in 1912, the Senate of Canada Building was originally Ottawa’s central train station. The station closed in 1966 and was later converted into a government meeting space. The building was rehabilitated to house the interim Senate during Centre Block’s closure.
The Senate is Parliament’s Upper Chamber. The 105 Senators are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister to represent Canada’s regions and minority groups.
