The Parliament of Canada, located on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, is the supreme legislative body of the country. It comprises three components: the Sovereign (represented by the Governor General), the Senate, and the House of Commons. Together, they are responsible for making laws, debating policies, and representing the interests of Canadians.
Visitors can explore Parliament through guided tours of the Senate of Canada Building, the House of Commons at West Block, and the East Block during the summer months. Tours are available throughout the week, with varying schedules depending on parliamentary activity. It’s recommended to check the official Parliament of Canada Tours website for the most current information and to book tickets in advance.
