Originally named the Sailors' Memorial Tower, the Clock Tower was inaugurated in 1922 to honour the seamen who died during World War I. Ceremonies are held by members and veterans of the Royal Canadian Navy to commemorate the sacrifice of these sailors. Designed by Montreal engineer Paul Leclaire, the tower features clockwork much like London's Big Ben, housed in the Elizabeth Tower.
