The Legislative Building in Winnipeg is located in downtown and serves as the seat for the National Assembly. It is built of local Tyndall Stone and Italian marble, and the top of the dome, where the Golden Boy stands, is 72 metres high. This is the third building that has served as the Legislative Building and was constructed 50 years after Manitoba joined the Canadian confederation. The dome is common to many government buildings in Canada, but there are numerous statues and dedications in the grounds to various people and events that have helped shaped Canada.
