About the NPT
The National Press Theatre is located on the ground floor of the National Press Building, just across from the West Block of the Parliament Buildings and houses the parliamentary press corps. The NPT officially opened on May 1, 1967. Former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson dedicated the room and it was his personal effort that helped make these facilities available to the Parliamentary Press Gallery. Journalists were moved to their new home across from Parliament Hill in the mid-1960’s because of over crowding of offices in Centre Block. The building is home to a wide array of news agencies, both national and foreign, and all forms of media.
When the NPT was redesigned a few years ago, Tom Hanson was consulted on how to make it easier for photographers to work in the space – many changes were made based on Tom’s advice.
