Summary[edit]

Description

The Supreme Court of Canada

“The Supreme Court of Canada building was designed by Ernest Cormier, a renowned Montréal architect who also designed the Quebec Court of Appeal building in Montréal, the Government Printing Bureau in Gatineau and the central building of the University of Montréal. Erected in 1938-1940, it is situated just west of the Parliament Buildings on a bluff high above the Ottawa River. Set back from busy Wellington Street by an expanse of lawn, the building provides a dignified setting worthy of the country’s highest tribunal.

Two tall statues have been erected next to the steps of the building: Veritas (Truth) to the west, and Ivstitia (Justice) to the east. They were sculpted by Toronto artist Walter S. Allward, the creator and architect of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France, amongst many other works.”
