Parliament Buildings

The BC Parliament building is impressive and gorgeous and nothing short of awe inspiring in terms of architecture. I had the opportunity of singing here with a choir a few years back, and the sound reverberates in the most wonderful ways. If you’re spending time in BC, there’s definitely no reason why you shouldn’t visit the fantastic piece of history-in-action. You’ll be sure to learn something new and really take in a piece of BC culture.

Some of the best late-Victorian architecture you’ll find in the general area. Well worth taking the guided tour in order to hear the history of the construction of the building, as well as an explanation of the Provincial British Parliamentary System.

This building is big, imposing, and statuesque. Not to mention frightening, and overall, beautiful. I endured hours of freezing rain standing outside of the Parliament building. It really doesn’t give much wind blockage or protection from the weather, heh. I got through with my marching and flag spinning and whatnot out front, and then we walked around for Band/Color Guard photos.

Delicious.

Definitely worth visiting—and if you can, check out the (free) tour.
