The foyer of the House of Commons is decorated with
two bands of sculpture that encircle the busy space
on all sides. The lower band, entitled the
History of Canada Series,
comprises ten panels of sculpture, the last of
which was completed by Dominion Sculptor Eleanor
Milne in 1975. As a whole, this monumental frieze
casts a long look back over thousands of years.
Together, the panels illustrate key points in the
Canadian experience, and reflect the ideas,
activities and convictions that have helped define
the institution of Parliament in this country.
