Prime Minister Mark Carney will announce plans Friday for the future of 24 Sussex, the 35-room mansion that served as the official prime ministerial residence from 1951 to 2015.
The property has cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars per year to maintain since being abandoned as the official residence. It was closed by the National Capital Commission in 2022 for "health and safety reasons," including an infestation of rats. While the grounds were used during former prime minister Justin Trudeau's tenure for some social events, the building has remained vacant.
