Summary
The federal government is launching a competition to find a Canadian firm to redesign and rebuild 24 Sussex Dr., the official residence of Canada's prime ministers, which has been uninhabitable since 2015 due to severe physical decline. The winner will be announced on Canada Day 2027, and the project will be funded mostly or entirely through a national fundraising campaign. The historic residence has suffered from decades of neglect, with issues including aging infrastructure, asbestos, and structural problems that have prevented prime ministers from living there for nearly a decade.
