It’s been nearly two years since Centre Block was closed for what’s now being dubbed “the renovation of the century,” and on Dec. 2 the federal government offered the media a look inside to see what’s going on. Breathtaking is one word for it. Our photographer Andrew Meade shot pictures of the work and The Canadian Press’ Lee Berthiaume filed a very detailed pool report, thankfully, because this renovation is more than significant. It’s gob-smacking, fall-down huge. This should be a documentary film and a book, maybe two books.
