Hiking

The West Block is one of the three buildings on Parliament Hill. The building houses a branch of the Parliamentary Library and offices of the members of Parliament. Since 2019, the House of Commons of Parliament has also been meeting there. Built in the Victorian architectural style, the West Block was completed in 1865 and renovated between 2011 and 2019. The West Block is featured as a hologram on the Canadian $5 banknote.
