Request image of Robert Borden statue

 * With fingers freezing I was able to get a nice shot of the Borden statue today. No people around to get in the way. DGERobertson (talk) 00:08, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

"Crown Land"
To my knowledge, Parliament Hill is part of the unceded Algonquin Territory, which has never been ceded to the Crown by means of a treaty or otherwise and with regards to which negotiations between the Algonquin and the governments of Canada and Ontario are currently ongoing (http://www.aboriginalaffairs.gov.on.ca/english/negotiate/algonquin/algonquin.asp). Thus, it is not "crown land", right? I have made the appropriate edit but if somebody else has sources that confirm that this is indeed considered crown land, feel free to change it back and but leave the Algonquin aspect in there as well since it's important (and shows respect to acknowledge the traditional stewards of the shared territory). krueschan (talk) 20:20, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It is crown land - however there is a land claim that has been in limbo for some time. see here (algonquins claim the whole Ottawa Valley -The Algonquin land claim covers a territory of 36,000 square kilometres (8.9 million acres) that fall within the Ontario portion of the Ottawa and Mattawa River watersheds)- but at no time has the government moved from its position that it is crown land. 90 percent of Canadian Territory has this type of land claim.

Reference for Dominion Sculptor
I've added a reference for the title "Dominion Sculptor." It sounds archaic, but the title was never, "Chief Sculptor" as was previously indicated. The reference makes that clear. The reference is an article from Public Works & Government Services Canada's website - the department that officially employs the Dominion Sculptor. Thanks. --Charlie Inks (talk) 21:08, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Which one is right?
Which official name designated by the National Historic Site of Canada is right (based on the template explanation on the right side)? Is it "Parliament Buildings National Historic Site of Canada" or "Grounds of the Parliament Buildings National Historic Site of Canada" ? Komitsuki (talk) 11:18, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Improving the map
Hey all, the map in the Grounds and name section is, frankly, not ideal. It's very difficult to distinguish buildings and landmarks, it doesn't scale well on mobile, and it uses a custom template that's used in only one other article. Would anyone be up for creating a better map, whether that's with an image, Maplink, Wikidata:Map data, or otherwise? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 07:09, 2 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree that the map isn't ideal. Given that I brought this article to GA with the help of Reidgreg, I will try to make it use Wikidata:Map data. --Aknell4 (talk · contribs) 13:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added Map data, however on its own the geoshapes aren't showing up. It's only when you enlarge the map. Any ideas on how to fix this? --Aknell4 (talk · contribs) 17:00, 3 July 2021 (UTC) Fixing a typo somehow fixed the issue. --Aknell4 (talk · contribs) 17:03, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Palestinian protests section, planned protest this December 2023
I added a sentence at the end of the section about a planned protest for Palestine to have a ceasefire, but I couldn't find an online source. The source I have is physical fliers with information about the protest 2001:1970:55E8:7F00:0:0:0:9EF8 (talk) 16:19, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
