24 Sussex Drive’s Long Road to Renewal

from Vancouver News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Canada’s iconic 24 Sussex Drive, the PM’s official residence, is finally getting the overhaul it desperately needs—after years of neglect, rodent infestations, mold, asbestos, and even a break-in while the PM was home. Built in the 1860s as a Welsh wedding gift, the historic home has been a political symbol, a security nightmare, and a logistical headache for PMs since the 1940s. Now, under new PM Mark Carney, a national fundraising campaign led by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada is set to transform this crumbling landmark into a safe, dignified home for Canada’s leader.
