Canada’s first Parliament met for the first time on November 6, 1867 in the original Centre Block building. Parliamentarians met here for almost 50 years, until a fire destroyed most of the building.

House of Commons curator Johanna Mizgala tells the history of Centre Block.

Watch our documentary about the restoration of Centre Block, narrated by Canadian actor Colm Feore: youtu.be/lGiIM-KubNA
