The grounds at 24 Sussex Drive in Ottawa. The federal government is looking at other sites in the city for a new official residence for the prime minister.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride troop practices at their stables in Ottawa on Wednesday, May 17, 2023.
Another option being examined is to move the PM's residence permanently to Rideau Cottage on the grounds of Rideau Hall. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been living there in a "temporary" arrangement since 2016."There is no option that has unanimous support, and every option has its pros and cons," said a federal government source.
Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip and former prime minister Pierre Trudeau pose for photographers at 24 Sussex on April 16, 1982. "The initial preference was to renovate 24 Sussex, but no one realized the extent of the necessary renovations that were needed," said a source who was involved in the deliberations at the time.
