Significance
The legislative building and its grounds were designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2005. It is also a Provincial Heritage Property.
Of historical significance, the table that was used during the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Quebec City in 1864 resides in the building's library, albeit with six feet of it removed. The Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Territories brought the table to Fort Battleford, which was the capital of the territory at the time. Six feet of the table length was removed from the middle so that it could be stored.
