A solemn space that inspires a sense of peace and respect, the Memorial Chamber situated in the Peace Tower of Canada's Parliament buildings is a noble tribute to those who gave their lives during the Great War in France and Flanders. It was constructed between 1923 and 1927 using stone donated by the governments of Great Britain, France and Belgium. The Memorial Chamber is noted for its detailed Gothic Revival style -the small space has a lofty appearance due to the exceptional height of its walls and the delicate tracery of its carving. The focal point of the Chamber is an altar containing the Book of Remembrance that holds the names of over 66,000 Canadians who died during the First World War. Today, five additional Books of Remembrance Commemorate Canadians who have given their lives in other conflicts around the world.
