WEST LINCOLN — When Chris Carter’s three-year-old daughter was running around on the playground in Smithville recently she made note of the 80 “exotic” birds — they were seagulls — scrounging for a meal around a big puddle.
As a result of a fire that destroyed the Centre Block in 1916, the West Block is the oldest of the Parliament’s Buildings. The load-bearing masonry structure was built in three campaign periods, starting in 1859, and it was completed in 1909 by the Department of Public Works.
Parliament Hill’s West Block has been closed for restoration work since 2011, but journalists got their first look inside yesterday as it nears the end of construction.
Architecture49 was awarded an Award of Excellence by the Grand Valley Construction Association for contributing to the Meridian Centre with Ball Construction. The building won in the Commercial category with over $20 million in construction fees.
The 5,300 seat, 146,535SF multi-purpose spectator facility is located in the heart of downtown St. Catharine's.
