The Long Term Vision and Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct: Annual Report 2023 to 2024

Assistant Deputy Ministers’ message

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is pleased to present the 2023 to 2024 Long Term Vision and Plan (LTVP) Annual Report, which showcases the progress made over the past year to restore and modernize Canada’s Parliamentary Precinct.

The Long Term Vision and Plan provides a flexible planning framework to guide decision making on future growth, development, and rehabilitation over a 50-year horizon. The plan, last approved in 2006, is currently being updated with a focus on strategically transforming the Precinct into an integrated parliamentary campus that will support modern parliamentary operations. This year, PSPC secured endorsement of the Vision, Guiding Principles and Key Directions from Parliament, an important step towards completion, which is targeted for next year.

North of Wellington, the stem to stern overhaul of the Centre Block and the construction of Canada’s new Parliament Welcome Centre are advancing well to meet the needs of a 21st century parliament. Over the past year, 50% design development was achieved and the construction of both buildings is transitioning from demolition and excavation into rebuild modes. For those interested in following the progress of the Centre Block Rehabilitation in greater detail, PSPC publishes a Quarterly Report that provides updates on the project’s progress, health, and key milestones. Additionally, CPAC has premiered Inside Centre Block — The Restoration: A Look Behind the Nation’s Most Ambitious Heritage Project, a captivating documentary offering an in-depth video tour of the historic restoration efforts. This documentary takes viewers behind the scenes of this monumental undertaking, providing a closer look at the meticulous work required to preserve and modernize one of Canada’s most iconic buildings.

Modernization of the Parliamentary Campus south of Wellington Street is also well underway with the launch of the Block 2 Redevelopment. This Program will see functionally obsolete heritage buildings transform into modern, sustainable, and accessible facilities for Parliament. In 2023, both design and construction contracts were awarded, allowing schematic design to advance and planning for the launch of construction in fall 2024 to progress.

Thanks to the continued collaboration between PSPC and the parliamentary administrations, substantial progress is being made on the LTVP and its landmark projects. As we move forward, our focus remains on delivering a Parliamentary Precinct that will serve as a source of pride for both parliamentarians and Canadians.

Executive summary

Over the 2023 to 2024 fiscal year, PSPC continued to make considerable progress towards advancing the Long Term Vision and Plan (LTVP) for the Parliamentary Precinct.

This report highlights the key results and milestones achieved over the year.

Financial highlights

PSPC’s planned expenditures for the 2023 to 2024 fiscal year were $503 million, while actual expenditures totalled $498.2 million, accounting for 99% of the planned budget. These expenditures are spread across five key programs related to the Long Term Vision and Plan (LTVP): Major Capital Program, Recapitalization Program, Building Components and Connectivity Program, Security Infrastructure Program, and Planning Program.

The Major Capital Program, which includes the largest LTVP projects, such as the Centre Block, the Parliament Welcome Centre, and Block 2, accounted for the majority of expenditures—$459.1 million, or 92.1% of the total. For more detailed information on PSPC’s expenditures related to the LTVP, please refer to the Program Financial Performance section.

The LTVP update

In 2017, Parliament and the Government endorsed a shift from a building-to-building approach towards the creation of an integrated and connected Parliamentary Campus. Several years of engagement and analysis has culminated in Parliament’s endorsement of the Vision, Guiding Principles, and Key Directions of the LTVP update, which positions PSPC to finalize the update and seek full endorsement from Parliament next fiscal year.

Strategic acquisitions for the LTVP portfolio

A core objective of the LTVP is to provide interim and permanent, secure, high-quality accommodations to meet Parliament's operational needs and to support the rehabilitation of key assets within the Parliamentary Precinct. In support of this strategy, PSPC acquired 181 Queen Street, a building currently occupied by the House of Commons, securing it as permanent, long-term accommodation within the Precinct.

The Centre Block Rehabilitation Program

The Centre Block Rehabilitation Program continues to advance on both the design and construction fronts. This year, 50% design development milestones were achieved for the Centre Block, Parliament Welcome Centre, and Landscape designs. On the construction front, demolition and abatement were substantially completed, which set the stage for Centre Block and the Parliament Welcome Centre to enter the second, or “rebuild”, phase of the construction program. This phase will start with structural upgrades in the Centre Block and will see the foundations for the Parliament Welcome Centre start to take shape. The program remains on track to complete the main construction in the 2030 to 2031 timeframe, with reopening planned for 2032 after the Senate and House of Commons administrations have completed extensive commissioning of building systems.

To support the design process and at the recommendation of the Auditor General, PSPC completed a GBA Plus assessment of the Centre Block Rehabilitation Program. The findings were positive and highlighted improvements including, but not limited to, universal accessibility upgrades, quiet spaces for reflection, caregiving, and chest-feeding as positive additions to the design.

Block 2 redevelopment

The Block 2 Redevelopment Program will also play an important role in transforming the Parliamentary Precinct, south of Wellington Street, into an integrated campus. Once complete, Block 2 will provide permanent parliamentary accommodations and create the fourth wall of the Parliamentary square. In 2023, Zeidler Architecture Inc., in association with David Chipperfield Architects, was contracted to advance their competition- winning design to the 20% schematic design stage. In addition, Pomerleau Inc. was awarded the contract for construction services within this fiscal year. The focus over the next year will be to complete the schematic design and begin early construction activities, which will include the establishment of the construction site and the relocation of utilities.

The year in review

Update to the Long Term Vision and Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct

The construction of the first Parliament buildings over 150 years ago set the stage for a strong tradition of long-term planning for the Parliamentary Precinct. The management and evolution of the site are now guided by the Long Term Vision and Plan (LTVP). The core objective of the current LTVP was to launch the rehabilitation of the Centre Block and construction of Canada’s Parliament Welcome Centre. Now that this milestone has been achieved, efforts have been focused on updating the LTVP for the next 50-year horizon.

A key goal of the LTVP update is to create a flexible plan that meets the future needs of Parliament and adapts to new opportunities or challenges. As Parliament grows and its operations evolve, especially around accommodation and security, updating the LTVP is essential to ensure it continues to support parliamentary functions, while creating a parliamentary campus that is welcoming to all.

Significant progress on the 2024 LTVP was made in this fiscal year, working in close collaboration with the parliamentary administrations and a variety of external stakeholders. A Vision, Guiding Principles, and Key Directions pertaining to security, the visitor experience, open spaces, universal accessibility, sustainability, and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples were endorsed by Parliament. Achieving this important milestone lays the foundation to complete the update with final approval of the document targeted for next year.

With the rehabilitation of Centre Block and Block 2 underway, efforts are focused on advancing plans to support the future rehabilitation of the Confederation and East Block buildings, as well as campus infrastructure projects, such as tunnels and material handling.

Strategic acquisitions for the LTVP portfolio

As PSPC continues implementing the LTVP, there remains a need for space to facilitate the rehabilitation of key assets within the Parliamentary Precinct, as well as meet the future accommodation requirements of Parliament.

In February 2024, PSPC purchased 181 Queen Street, a building previously leased by PSPC, to provide accommodation for the House of Commons as part of the LTVP. This acquisition yielded approximately $128 million in cost savings over 50 years and ensures stable long-term accommodations for Parliament. PSPC will continue to explore the possibility of acquiring additional assets that provide cost effective, secure, high-quality accommodation to support parliamentary operations over the long term.

With a federal election scheduled to occur on or before October 20, 2025, PSPC is working with the parliamentary administrations to ensure sufficient space is provided within the Parliamentary Precinct to address the requirements of the Fair Representation Act, which will see the number of Members of Parliament grow with the increase in Canada’s population.

The Centre Block Rehabilitation Project

The restoration and modernization of the Centre Block and construction of the new Parliament Welcome Centre and surrounding landscape is the largest heritage project undertaken in Canada, and one of the largest globally. As an almost 100-year-old building, the Centre Block requires a stem to stern overhaul to meet modern codes and the needs of a 21st century Parliament. The project also aims to demonstrate leadership in sustainability, accessibility, and heritage restoration.

At the recommendation of the Auditor General, PSPC undertook a GBA Plus assessment focused on the public spaces. The report found that the project had incorporated numerous leading practices in terms of robust ongoing consultations held with Indigenous rights holders and partners, as well as accessibility experts, organizations, and persons with disabilities. Moreover, the report cited the project has incorporated universal accessibility best practice upgrades, quiet spaces for reflection, caregiving, and chest-feeding into the design. The assessment also identified four recommendations, which included continuing to integrate Indigenous perspectives; enhancing inclusion and safety through internal seating areas; including sharp disposal containers in washrooms; and using innovative accessibility technologies, such as electronic signage. PSPC is carefully considering these recommendations.

Design progress: PSPC is advancing the design of the Centre Block Rehabilitation Project. In June 2023, the project received Federal Land Use, Design, and Transaction Approval (FLUDTA) from the National Capital Commission (NCC) for the landscape (excluding parking). By March 2024, the project reached 50% design development for the landscape, Centre Block, and the Parliament Welcome Centre. Final design development is targeted for fall 2025.

Construction progress: The rehabilitation of Centre Block is a multi-phase construction project, consisting of three distinct stages. The first phase, known as "Deconstruct," involves demolition, hazardous material abatement, and excavation, stripping the building down to its bare structural elements. The second phase, called "Rebuild," focuses on reconstructing and upgrading the building’s general structure to ensure it performs as intended. The final phase, "Fit-Out," is when the building’s finishes are implemented and heritage elements are returned to their original locations.

A key milestone in the project was reached during this reporting period as both Centre Block and the Parliament Welcome Centre transitioned from the first phase into the second phase of construction.

On the exterior, masonry restoration began on both the east and west facades, with work reaching approximately 15% completion by the end of the year. In July 2023, the pinnacles of the Peace Tower were temporarily wrapped and secured in preparation for structural repairs, which will be completed later in the program.

Inside the building, the demolition and abatement of hazardous materials were largely completed by December 2023, with approximately 12 million kilograms of abated material removed. Additionally, the restoration of heritage assets progressed, with 50% of Centre Block’s stained and leaded glass windows and 80% of the Crisp murals being restored.

Work has also commenced to stabilize the Centre Block in preparation for excavation beneath the building. This complex work is necessary to integrate the Centre Block with the Parliament Welcome Centre. Once stabilization is complete, the focus will shift to structurally rebuilding and reinforcing the basement, which includes the installation of base isolators to protect the building during earthquakes. As of March 2024, roughly 50% of the basement support posts were drilled, and 16% of the Level 1 concrete slab rebuild was completed.

For the Parliament Welcome Centre, the final section of excavation in the northeast corner is progressing well and is expected to be completed by spring 2024. Additionally, drilling for the geo-exchange system is 80% complete.

Block 2 Redevelopment Project

The rehabilitation and modernization of Block 2, located across from Centre Block, is a cornerstone project in the LTVP that will transform functionally obsolete heritage buildings into modern, sustainable, and accessible facilities for Parliament. The project will also play a crucial role in the transformation of the Parliamentary Precinct into an integrated campus. By redeveloping Block 2, key buildings, such as the East Block and Confederation Building, can be vacated for restoration. Ultimately, Block 2 will provide permanent accommodations for Parliament and support the consolidation of parliamentary functions into a campus centered around Wellington Street. Additionally, the redevelopment will enhance the framing of Parliament, turning several vacant and underutilized properties into a new "fourth wall" of the Parliament square.

In May 2023, PSPC awarded the design contract to the winning team from the design competition: Zeidler Architecture Inc. of Toronto, in collaboration with David Chipperfield Architects of London, United Kingdom. The design team also includes Two Row Architects, an Indigenous firm based on the Six Nations reserve in southern Ontario. Since being engaged, the team has focused on pre-design services, including site analysis, assessment of existing building conditions, and a review of relevant documentation. In December 2023, the team submitted a 20% schematic design. This milestone helped align the key design principles from the competition with the evolving understanding of the project and its requirements.

Also in December 2023, PSPC awarded the Construction Manager Services contract to Pomerleau. Pomerleau has been providing constructability advice to the design team and working on developing a construction mobilization strategy.

40 Elgin and 60 Queen Projects

To complete the rehabilitation of Block 2, which includes the Victoria Building, space at 40 Elgin Street is being prepared to accommodate 45 Parliamentary Offices. The design process is currently underway, and in the next fiscal year, the landlord for the building will award the Construction Management contract. Once awarded, construction on the Parliamentary Office Unit floors will begin, with the goal of vacating the Victoria Building by 2027.

Before space at 40 Elgin could be leased, several floors of the building were occupied by the National Capital Commission (NCC). The NCC had planned to move to the former British High Commission building by June 2023. However, delays in the construction of the new British High Commission headquarters at 140 Sussex Drive postponed the relocation.

To address this, PSPC secured swing space at 60 Queen Street, which currently houses Senate facilities. Fit-up work is required to ensure that 60 Queen Street meets the Senate's needs. Construction on these modifications began in this fiscal year and is expected to be completed by April 2025. Once completed, this will enable the Parliamentary Office Units at 40 Elgin to be delivered on schedule, allowing the Victoria Building to be vacated by 2027.

Triad material handling node and parliamentary campus tunnels

Both the Senate Standing Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration (CIBA) and the House of Commons Board of Internal Economy (BOIE) approved the implementation of an underground tunnel network to ensure the safe and secure movement of both people and goods across the Precinct to parliamentary buildings located on both the north and south sides of Wellington Street. This tunnel network will be supported by a new material handling facility, which has also received approval from Parliament, that will be designed and constructed north of Wellington. Both Tunnel and Material Handling Node projects are currently in the planning phase.

For the Tunnels project, parliamentary administrations will confirm requirements for goods movement, pedestrian access, and key building connections. A feasibility study for the tunnels is now 33% complete. Completion of the study to confirm scope, cost and schedule will be completed in the 2024 to 2025 timeframe.

For the Material Handling project, functional programming for the Triad Material Handling facility has reached 75% completion, with finalization expected by the end of 2024. This will allow PSPC to move into the feasibility stage in 2025, which will include the development of cost estimates to support project approvals process.

Recapitalization Program, Repair, Asset, and Fit-up Programs

As the property custodian for the buildings within the Parliamentary Precinct, PSPC ensures the continued operations of the House of Commons, the Senate of Canada, the Library of Parliament, the Parliamentary Protective Service, as well as the Privy Council Office and the Prime Minister’s Office. This work is completed through the Recapitalization and Repair, Asset and Fit-Up programs. The Recapitalization Program focuses on preserving buildings, preventing further deterioration, and responding to urgent repair needs.

The Repair, Asset, and Fit-up Programs allow PSPC to be a proactive steward of parliamentary buildings by implementing asset repairs, life cycle replacements, and responding to accommodation requests from client partners. These programs ensure ongoing support to parliamentary operations, improve building integrity and support the advancement of sustainability and accessibility objectives. In fiscal year 2023 to 2024, the Fit-up Program launched a House of Commons Project that will create 15 new parliamentary offices between the Valour Building and the Wellington Building to accommodate the additional Members of Parliament required by the Fair Representation Act. Additionally, PSPC continues to support the Sparks Street Mall Authority and local businesses by making significant investment in its commercial storefronts. Recently, PSPC completed the revitalization of six retail bays along Sparks Street and is actively pursuing new tenants.

Building Components Connectivity Program

The Building Components and Connectivity Program modernizes communication and IT systems across the Parliamentary Precinct to meet the evolving needs of parliamentarians. These projects are carefully coordinated with other LTVP initiatives to ensure that connectivity upgrades are delivered in an integrated and cost-effective manner. The House of Commons, as the technical authority, sets all IT-related requirements and works closely with PSPC on the planning and implementation.

In fiscal year 2023 to 2024, PSPC completed the Information Technology Backbone project at 155 Queen Street, expanding the IT infrastructure and creating a more robust network pathway to support the building’s operations. Additionally, PSPC continued work on the Data Centre Risk Mitigation project, which will establish a disaster recovery site to reduce the risk of operational disruptions. The Parliamentary Precinct Network Infrastructure Transformation and IT Base Building Upgrades projects are also underway, focusing on improving the coordination of network activities and modernizing IT equipment rooms and infrastructure throughout the Precinct. The Video Surveillance and Security Systems Integration project is another key initiative, aimed at enhancing security by integrating surveillance and safety systems across the Precinct.

East Block

The East Block is targeted for rehabilitation in the mid-2030s timeframe once the rehabilitation of Block 2 is complete. To ensure the building is functional until the rehabilitation is launched, PSPC completed improvements to the building envelope, including masonry work and copper roof repairs. In addition, PSPC is also piloting the use of a transformable lift to improve accessibility at the East Block Governor General’s Entrance, making it universally accessible. If successful, this lift will be the first of its kind in Canada and will be utilized in the Centre Block rehabilitation. Design development was completed in 2023, with the final design expected in fall 2024. Construction is slated to begin in spring 2025.

Block 1

Block 1, located directly across from the East Block on the south side of Wellington Street, consists of several buildings that house the Office of the Prime Minister and Privy Council, as well as a number of smaller heritage buildings. Many of these structures are over 100 years old and have never undergone significant rehabilitation. The Block 1 Redevelopment project aims to restore and modernize these buildings, transforming them into an integrated facility with modern accommodations.

In 2021, PSPC acquired 100 Sparks and 30 Metcalfe from the National Capital Commission. This purchase was a key step in enabling the rehabilitation and modernization of major capital projects like Block 1, and it will help provide additional space for the Parliamentary Administrations. In fiscal year 2023 to 2024, the interior demolition of the upper floors of both 100 Sparks and 30 Metcalfe was completed. Further redevelopment work will begin once the sequencing for the next phase of the LTVP is confirmed.

Wellington street

The federal acquisition and redevelopment of Wellington Street in the Parliamentary Precinct remains a key priority to address longstanding security vulnerabilities and jurisdictional gaps. Over the past year, discussions with the City of Ottawa have advanced towards a shared plan that will help create a more open, safe, and secure Parliamentary Precinct for both parliamentarians and visitors.

To support the effective transfer of Wellington Street to federal jurisdiction, PSPC has carried out several due diligence activities. These include a legal survey, an independent property appraisal, and a transportation study—conducted in collaboration with the City of Ottawa and the National Capital Commission (NCC). The transportation study evaluated the potential impacts of reinstating vehicle restrictions on Wellington Street, between Bank Street and Elgin Street, should the street be formally integrated into the Parliamentary Precinct. Additionally, PSPC conducted benchmarking analyses comparing international projects, including those in The Hague, Oslo, London, and Washington, to highlight how other capital cities are addressing similar challenges by balancing security needs with the creation of vibrant public spaces.

In summer 2023, a formal offer for the sale and acquisition of Wellington Street was developed jointly with City staff and presented to the City for consideration.

While recent security events have driven initial discussions about Wellington Street's future, the street is increasingly recognized in its own right as an essential asset for bridging the current state of the portfolio with Parliament’s long-term vision of an integrated parliamentary campus. In this context, Wellington Street is highlighted in the updated LTVP as a candidate for redesign, with a focus on transforming it into a welcoming, pedestrian-priority zone. This reimagining would enhance connections between Parliament Hill and the surrounding urban blocks, improve the visitor experience, and help maintain the open, safe, and secure environment of the Parliamentary Precinct. Ongoing discussions will continue with the City of Ottawa, the NCC, and other stakeholders to move forward with this vision.

A national space for Indigenous Peoples

PSPC continues to support Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) and national Indigenous organizations, including the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, and the Métis National Council, in developing a national space for Indigenous Peoples. This work also involves collaboration with the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation Tribal Council (AANTC) and CIRNAC on a dedicated Algonquin space.

Until construction efforts ramp up for the Block 2 Rehabilitation, 100 Wellington Street is being used as a temporary space for exhibitions and activities for the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, and the Métis National Council. 119 Sparks has served as a temporary Algonquin space for the AANTC.

Discussions between the Government of Canada and the Algonquin Chiefs are ongoing, with plans to sign an agreement to formalize the commitment to a dedicated Algonquin space. Once signed, CIRNAC, with support from PSPC, will partner with the AANTC and other Indigenous partners to develop a long-term vision and design for the national space for Indigenous Peoples.

Governance for the Long Term Vision and Plan

Responsibility for the care, management, and operations of the Parliamentary Precinct is shared by both the Executive and Legislative Branches of government. Based upon recommendations from the Auditor General, PSPC has worked closely with parliamentary administrations to establish governance at both the Administrative and Political levels to support decision making on the LTVP.

This year, PSPC, the parliamentary administrations, Canadian Heritage, and the National Capital Commission formed a working group to improve decision making and coordination for existing and planned commemorative works within the parliamentary campus.

Indigenous engagement

Building and strengthening relationships with Indigenous communities and organizations is a key priority for PSPC and the Government of Canada. PSPC is committed to fostering open, transparent, and respectful dialogue with First Nations, Inuit and Métis Nation communities. The department aims for a coordinated and holistic approach to engagement. This approach takes into account the history and context of these relationships, while also addressing the risk of engagement fatigue often experienced by Indigenous communities.

PSPC continues to enhance Indigenous involvement in major projects by providing economic opportunities and ensuring that Indigenous perspectives inform the design and development of key projects, such as the Parliament Welcome Centre, Centre Block, and Block 2.

PSPC has worked closely with National Indigenous Organizations and local Indigenous communities, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis representatives, to gather feedback and incorporate Indigenous perspectives into project planning. Several visioning sessions have been held with Indigenous communities, including those with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, the Métis National Council, and Anishinàbe Algonquin community members. These sessions have focused on key themes, such as land, people, journey, storytelling, and cultural preservation. Valuable input has been gathered from a broad range of community members, including youth and Elders, which has been integrated into the project designs.

In response to community feedback, PSPC is exploring the inclusion of culturally significant materials and elements, such as medicinal plants, copper, and labradorite in the design of the Parliamentary Precinct. These design considerations aim to create a culturally safe and meaningful environment for Indigenous communities.

PSPC remains committed to ongoing engagement throughout the life cycle of projects, ensuring that Indigenous perspectives continue to guide and inform the development process. This includes maintaining a coordinated and holistic approach to engagement that respects the diverse needs and concerns of Indigenous communities.

In June 2023, a site west of West Block on Parliament Hill was selected as the future monument site for the Indian Residential Schools National Monument. PSPC is supporting Canadian Heritage to advance the planning and design work for this important initiative.

Through these efforts, PSPC is advancing reconciliation, enhancing understanding of Indigenous cultures, and creating more inclusive and culturally enriched public spaces.

Decorative Arts Program

The Decorative Arts Program fosters collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artisans, promoting the exchange of art forms, methods, and ideas in the spirit of reconciliation. Efforts have been made to make the program more inclusive and representative of Canada’s diverse communities.

The program has successfully diversified artistic contributions by hiring artists from underrepresented communities. Notably, in collaboration with the Aboriginal Apprenticeship Board of Ontario (AABO) and the Algonquin Anishinabeg National Tribal Council (AANTC), the Decorative Arts Program has recently hired three Indigenous sculptors from the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation, Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation (Ojibwe), and Ahkwesáhsne First Nation (Kanienʼkehá).

Anishinàbe Odjìbikan – Anishinàbe Algonquin Archaeological Field School

PSPC has partnered with the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg, Algonquins of Pikwàkanagan First Nation, the Strategic Partnerships Initiative at Indigenous Services Canada, and the National Capital Commission to support the Anishinàbe Odjìbikan initiative. This initiative aims to build Anishinàbe Algonquin capacity in archaeology and related fields, while encouraging self-management of cultural heritage.

Launched in 2020 as an 8-week program, Anishinàbe Odjìbikan has since expanded into a year-round program, supporting the training and recruitment of Anishinàbe Algonquin community members for archaeological services. In the 2023 to 2024 fiscal year, the program supported 21 jobs in these two communities.

Indigenous procurement

PSPC continues to leverage Indigenous Participation Plans (IPPs) to enhance Indigenous economic participation in major projects. IPPs are in place for both the Centre Block Rehabilitation and Block 2 projects.

As of March 2024, $10.3 million has been awarded through the Centre Block IPP, supporting construction subcontractor employment and training opportunities. This investment is designed to build capacity for Indigenous businesses and provide socio-economic benefits to Indigenous Peoples.

In 2023, the Block 2 architectural and engineering contract was awarded to Zeidler Architecture Inc. (Toronto, Canada), in partnership with David Chipperfield Architects (London, United Kingdom). Notably, Two Row Architects, an Indigenous firm based on the Six Nations reserve in southern Ontario, is also part of the project team.

Detailed IPPs for these projects, currently in development, will focus on skills development, human resources, and subcontracting opportunities to further enhance Indigenous business capacity. PSPC is also in discussions with the Anishinàbe Algonquin Nation, as the host nation, to improve communication and connect Indigenous businesses with both current and future opportunities.

Sustainability and climate change adaptation

Environmental sustainability and climate resilience are central objectives of the LTVP and are integral to the rehabilitation and modernization of the Parliamentary Precinct. Ongoing work in the Precinct is enabling PSPC to meet, and in some cases exceed, the Government of Canada’s greening targets.

PSPC has continued its innovative work to increase the climate resilience of the buildings within the Parliamentary Precinct, while preserving their important heritage character. In early 2024, PSPC completed its first Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the Parliamentary Precinct, which outlines measures to reduce climate risks to the buildings and grounds, such as designing cooling and ventilation systems for hotter summers and enhancing drainage systems in anticipation of more frequent intense rainfall events. The department also initiated a new recommissioning program and completed studies for four buildings, outlining measures to improve the operations of HVAC systems, which in turn reduces the buildings’ energy consumption.

Significant rehabilitation programs, such as the Centre Block and Block 2, also play a key role in advancing sustainability goals by diverting over 90% of construction waste, and by introducing the use of low-carbon materials, such as concrete. For example, this year, concrete specifications for the Parliament Welcome Centre were adjusted to reduce the embodied carbon footprint of concrete by at least 15%, surpassing the Treasury Board’s 10% reduction target. Additional strategies, such as geothermal and waste heat recovery and geo-exchange are being implemented.

For the Block 2 redevelopment, a Life Cycle Assessment has been completed which identifies carbon trade-offs between retaining existing structures versus new construction. This analysis helped set an embodied carbon budget for major design elements.

Finally, supporting the Department’s Energy Services Acquisition Program, PSPC is transitioning from a high-temperature steam to a more energy-efficient, low-temperature hot water system. This year, Postal Station B, the Office of the Prime Minister and Privy Council, Blackburn, and Justice Buildings were transitioned.

Universal accessibility

The Parliamentary Precinct Universal Accessibility Strategy and Action Plan, finalized in 2022, is now fully underway. This strategy outlines a phased and practical approach to improving universal accessibility across the Parliamentary Precinct. A key step in executing this strategy has been the completion of building-specific audits conducted by PSPC to establish a baseline and identify areas for improvement. As of 2023 to 2024, six additional audits were completed, bringing the total number of audited buildings to 22 out of 34.

For buildings not slated for major rehabilitation over the short term, PSPC is implementing accessibility improvements. In 2023 to 2024, 43 quick fixes that addressed accessibility barriers requiring minimal intervention were implemented throughout the Precinct. These include projects, such as the installation of contrasting vision strips on glass walls and doors in West Block and the Visitor Welcome Centre, the improvement of lighting in the Senate of Canada Building and Sir John A. Macdonald Building elevators, and the installation of cane detectable guards around water fountains in East Block.

Universal accessibility is being integrated into major rehabilitation and new construction projects within the Precinct, such as the Centre Block and Block 2 projects. The Centre Block project includes a direct path of travel from the Centennial Flame to the Chamber galleries, accessible elevators, additional stairwells, gender-inclusive washrooms, and family rooms. Similarly, the Block 2 project, which involves the rehabilitation of heritage buildings and the construction of new facilities, will adhere to Universal Accessibility Best Practices.

PSPC is committed to the “nothing without us” approach, ensuring that the lived experiences of persons with disabilities guide accessibility efforts within the Parliamentary Precinct. The Parliamentary Precinct Universal Accessibility Advisory Committee met four times during fiscal year 2023 to 2024 to review various projects and provide feedback on improving the design and usability of spaces. This committee includes federal employees with lived experience, as well as representatives from organizations supporting people with different types of disabilities.

Partnerships

A key element in the success of the LTVP is the diversity and expertise of the partner network that PSPC has cultivated over the past decade. By working with a wide range of partners, PSPC taps into unique skills and experiences that add value to projects and contribute to delivering successful outcomes.

Public engagement and the visitor experience

Keeping Canadians informed on the work that we are doing to modernize the Parliamentary Precinct is an important aspect of PSPC’s work, especially for a once in a lifetime rehabilitation like the Centre Block. This year, PSPC executed several events and installations to keep Canadians apprised of our progress and improve the experience of those visiting Canada’s Parliamentary Precinct.

In June 2023, PSPC successfully hosted 4,600 visitors over two days during the City of Ottawa’s Doors Open Ottawa event at the Centre Block Rehabilitation construction site. Visitors were able to use virtual reality to explore concept designs of the Centre Block and Parliament Welcome Centre and interact with members of PSPC’s Decorative Arts team. Building on the success of Doors Open Ottawa, PSPC’s Centre Block and Parliament Welcome Centre design concepts, as well as a photo exhibition, were installed at 90 Wellington Street. In collaboration with Canadian Heritage, PSPC ensured that visitor services staff were regularly updated with relevant information to enhance the experience.

Since 2020, PSPC and the City of Ottawa have also partnered on temporary art projects to animate storefront windows on Sparks Street. PSPC handles the creative and physical production of these exhibits. In August 2023, the fourth exhibit in this series, "Quiet Resistance, Reclaiming Space" by Chinese Canadian photographer Don Kwan, was installed at the Birks Building. The exhibit featured text in English, French, and simplified Chinese to engage a broader audience.

Outreach and exchanging best practices

PSPC has fostered relationships with key international organizations to share best practices in the preservation and rehabilitation of heritage assets. These partnerships not only help promote innovation and improve program delivery, but also allow PSPC to showcase its world-class expertise.

As a founding member of the International Network of Parliamentary Properties (INPP), PSPC chairs a forum that facilitates the exchange of knowledge and best practices with professionals from over 20 member countries. In 2023, the INPP's annual conference was held in the Netherlands and Austria, offering sessions on topics like security, engagement, and project delivery best practices. Delegates had the opportunity to visit ongoing rehabilitation efforts at the Dutch Parliament and the recently completed renovation of the Austrian Parliament.

PSPC also held several bilateral meetings throughout the year with the Architect of the Capitol (United States), the Austrian Parliament, and the German Parliament, discussing shared challenges and opportunities in areas, such as public space design and security for parliamentary properties.

Reporting on the Long Term Vision and Plan

PSPC is committed to providing Canadians with increased transparency and accountability regarding the restoration and modernization of the Parliamentary Precinct.

In addition to regular government reporting and this Annual Report, PSPC started submitting a progress update to the Speakers of the Senate and House of Commons this year. These reports outline progress on the Long Term Vision and Plan execution as well outline key decisions and associated timelines to maintain program momentum. The first update was submitted in October 2023, and this reporting will serve as an important tool for tracking progress moving forward.

Since 2021, PSPC has also publicly released quarterly reports on the Centre Block Rehabilitation project. These reports outline progress, provide insights into the health of the project, and detail spending to date. The Program also conducts annual media briefings and tours of the construction site, as well as supports a CPAC series that is documenting the Rehabilitation Program.

Program financial performance
