Justin Trudeau and his family will be immediately relocating to Rideau Cottage, part of the Rideau Hall grounds in the National Capital Region, Trudeau’s office announced Monday.
The Trudeau family will reside at Rideau Cottage until further notice, his office said in a statement, adding that the prime minister-designate will decide whether to move into 24 Sussex Drive “once he has been fully briefed by officials.”
Trudeau and his family had to move out of the home in Rockcliffe Park they have been renting since 2013 because it has been sold. Pictures of moving vans loading up at the house circulated on social media over the weekend.

Rideau Cottage, at 1 Sussex Dr., is a heritage building constructed in 1866-67. The brick two-storey, 14-r00m structure is described as a “generously scaled, Georgian Revival brick house” on the website HistoricPlaces.ca.
Built at a cost of about $5,000, Rideau Cottage was constructed as a residence for the secretary to the governor general and has been the home of the secretary or military attaché to all governors general.
There have been several major additions and renovations over the years, including the 1872 addition of a second floor and wing additions in the 1930s and 1950s.
The National Capital Commission spent $408,000 on renovations and repairs about 15 years ago. Prior to that, Rideau Cottage was so dilapidated its wooden basement floors and walls were rotting and its foundation bricks and mortar were falling apart.
Trudeau’s mother, Margaret Trudeau, told a CBC morning show last week that the family wouldn’t immediately move into 24 Sussex, the prime minister’s official residence, to allow long-delayed renovations to proceed.
In 2008, the NCC estimated it would cost nearly $10 million to make urgently needed repairs to the crumbling official residence. But Stephen Harper was unwilling to vacate the house during his time as prime minister, so the work was never done.
