The new, but still incomplete, Parliament Building is shown, as is the Chateau Laurier; the locks of the Rideau Canal are shown with the Interprovincial Bridge in the distance; from the roof of the Central Station, Sparks Street and the Federal Parliament Buildings are seen; the roof of the Post Office offers a view of Rideau Street in the direction of Lowertown. From Major's Hill Park, the Parliament Buildings are seen from another angle; also in the park are two women playing with an old cannon, and one flirting with a statue at the Champlain Monument. A last look at the new Parliament Building, from Wellington Street, shows the edifice nearly complete, with the exception of the Peace Tower. <1mn 41s>Language:Silent with English intertitlesNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
