The National Capital Commission wants to remove cars and OC Transpo buses from Wellington Street. A measure that would discriminate against people who have mobility problems or who are aged. And who have the right to see our Parliament Buildings, Confederation Square and every other landmark in the district. After the September 11, 2001 attacks a Canadian politician suggested that the public should be banned from Parliament Hill. Banning the public from the Hill would violate Section 2 (c) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which guarantees the right to peaceful assembly.
I inherited all of the photos, which were taken during the 1960's:

The Rideau Club, on the left, and the American Embassy on Wellington Street are visible in the background. The Rideau Club burned down in 1979.
