Built in 1979 and opened in 1980, the Diefenbaker Building has housed the Diefenbaker archives, museum, and gallery since its inception. As Canada’s only Prime Ministerial centre the Diefenbaker Canada Centre (DCC) is a destination for tourists, school groups, and local visitors. The Diefenbaker collection is enhanced by the presentation of national and international cultural exhibitions, and the development of educational, public, and outreach programming.
