Almost three years in, demolition work continues inside the historic Centre Block building—now focused on high-heritage spaces on the second, third, and fourth floors—and soon, it will reach the top of the Peace Tower, with a mobile crane set to be erected later this fall to remove the four pinnacles that surround the tower’s clock for restoration.Enjoy unlimited website access and the digital newspaper.
