In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, the Citizen is rolling out one fact each day for 150 days until July 1, highlighting the odd, the fascinating and the important bits of Ottawa history you might not know about.
Ottawa is now home to several skyscrapers, but it wasn’t always that way. Until the 1960s, no building was permitted to be taller than the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill. This was done so that the National Capital Commission could maintain the “visual integrity” of the Parliament Buildings. Several studies have since been carried out to determine what can be built where, and how it will affect the views of and from Parliament Hill.
