Province House National Historic Site of Canada(Corner of Richmond and Great George Streets)
Standing proudly on the crest of Great George Street is Province House National Historic Site of Canada—the very heart of the 1864 Conference and now, a national icon. Its impressive Colonial portico welcomes all, while its stone walls echo of past debates and dances.
As the second-oldest active legislature in Canada, this is a building where past and present blend seamlessly. The west wing houses the meticulously restored Confederation Chamber while the east wing comes to life regularly as the Provincial Legislature sits in session with local political business.
The award-winning video, The Great Dream, kicks off your tour in a modern theatre, followed by a guided tour of this elegant seat of politics, past and present-the true birthplace of Canada as a nation!
Province House National Historic Site of Canada is open to the public and is operated by Parks Canada. Full interpretation and a video presentation is available. For more information, call (902) 566-7626. Approximate time required: 45 minutes.
