👀 The Peace Tower is about to disappear from view! A steel scaffold frame is being installed around the iconic landmark as part of Centre Block’s rehabilitation, setting the stage for the tower’s masonry and structural upgrades. Senator Dawn Arnold and @SenatorRobBlack visited the Senate’s permanent home to learn more about the work underway and to take a closer look at the tower’s heritage details before they’re temporarily hidden. #SenCA #LTVP #FrontAndCentre

Remembrance is more than a moment. It’s a responsibility. After 34 years in the @CanadianForces, Senator Rebecca Patterson brings a veteran’s perspective to Parliament, where she works to ensure the people behind military service have a voice in decisions that affect them. #SenCA #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget
