The Lester B. Pearson Building is the headquarters of the Canadian Department Of Foreign Affairs ( Foreign Affairs Canada ). It is located at 125 Sussex Drive in Ottawa , Ontario , and was built between 1968 and 1973. It is named after Lester B. Pearson , former External Affairs Minister , Nobel Peace Prize winner and Canadian Prime Minister . Because of its forbidding appearance, the building is sometimes unofficially called "Fort Pearson," which also often serves as a Metonym for the department that occupies it. The Department was established in 1909 but did not establish its first foreign mission until 1927 in Washington, D.C . |
