Tips

January 30, 2025

Queen Victoria, Canada's monarch from 1837 to 1901, officially chose Ottawa as the permanent capital of the then-united province of Canada in 1857. On July 1, 1867, she proclaimed the confederation of Canada's first four provinces.

A monument to Queen Victoria, to be erected as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations - the 60th year of her reign - was proposed for the hill in 1900.

Quebec sculptor Louis-Philippe Hébert won the competition to design the monument. The statue was first displayed at the Paris World's Fair in 1900 and was subsequently permanently installed on Parliament Hill.

There is a beautiful viewpoint over the river right next to the statue.
