Arts & Culture
The Hill is a must when visiting the National Capital Region. The front lawn is great for a picnic, bocce ball, or cartwheels. Tours are available hourly, and if you're visiting during the week and the Parliament is sitting, I would be happy to get you into Question Period, House proceedings, or Senate proceedings.
