Jean Talon Building

The Jean Talon Building is a prominent federal office building located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, serving as part of the Statistics Canada headquarters complex. Named after Jean Talon, the first intendant of New France who conducted the region's first census, this 13-storey structure was completed in 1979. It is notable for its significant role in housing census staff and storing essential materials for statistical surveys.
