Memorial Chamber
More Info | + My Favorites
Located within the Peace Tower of the Canadian Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, this chamber keeps Canada's seven Books of Remembrance, which contains the names of Canada's war dead. Each day there is a Turning of the Page ceremony, where a page in each book is turned over; in this way, every name in the book is recognized one day a year. The chamber itself, featuring a vaulted ceiling, is beautifully crafted with ornate carvings. The chamber was built to honour those soldiers who didn't return and to serve Canadians who wish to grieve their loss.
