Introduction

The perpetual flame on the square in front of the Parliament building is the Centennial Flame. It was ignited by Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson in 1966 to celebrate Canada's centennial. The water and fire symbolize the compatibility of water and fire, symbolizing the peaceful coexistence and cooperation between the French-speaking and English-speaking populations in Canada.
