Public Services and Procurement Canada is committed to revitalizing its heritage assets within its existing portfolio and to creating jobs that will help strengthen and grow the middle class.

“We are pleased to announce the first milestone in this important project and also honoured to be part of the rejuvenation of this heritage building. Revitalizing this memorial is another way for us to honour our Canadian veterans.”

The Honourable Carla Qualtrough
Minister of Public Services and Procurement

• The West Memorial Building was constructed between 1954 and 1958.

• The $14.2-million contract (including applicable taxes) is the result of a competitive tendering process initiated last summer. The successful bidder is the joint venture of Moriyama & Teshima Architects and Kasian Architecture Interior Design and Planning Ltd.

• The West Memorial Building, the East Memorial Building and the connecting Commemorative Memorial Archway form Canada’s primary Second World War memorial.

• The objective is to make the West Memorial Building as green as possible while respecting its heritage character.

• Once the temporary occupants have returned to the rehabilitated Supreme Court of Canada Building, the West Memorial Building will serve as long-term office space for future government tenants.
