Senate’s temporary home nearing completion

Senators toured the former train station that will be home to the temporary Senate chamber.

Senators got a sneak peek of the temporary Senate chamber, housed in Ottawa’s historic train station.

The Government Conference Centre, which was built in 1912 as a train station, will be the Senate’s temporary home while Centre Block gets a major renovation. The Senate is expected to move in the new year as the decade-long renovation project gets underway.

The Government Representative Office in the Senate – Senator Peter Harder, Senator Diane Bellemare and Senator Grant Mitchell – took part in a tour of the Government Conference Centre as the space is being transformed into a temporary Senate chamber. (Photo: Greg Kolz)
