redevelopment of the District in the 1960s and 1970s, its association
with Canada’s centenary, its role as a cultural hub of the District
today and its function as a city-wide landmark and a gateway to the
District from the Financial District and Union Station. The structure
also contributes to the physical character of the District through its
distinctive Brutalist architecture and its prominent siting across from
