Heritage Ottawa's Leslie Maitland discusses 24 Sussex Drive, Rideau Cottage
Watch Our Ottawa online or on CBC TV on Monday, Nov. 2, at 11 a.m.
Ever since the Liberals won a majority in this month's federal election, there's been a great deal of talk about exactly where in Ottawa incoming prime minister Justin Trudeau will call home.
Trudeau has said he'll forego living at 24 Sussex Drive — the traditional home of Canada's prime minister — in favour of Rideau Cottage, largely because 24 Sussex is in need of major repairs.
This week on Our Ottawa, Heritage Ottawa past president Leslie Maitland chats with host Adrian Harewood about what should be done with 24 Sussex, and also gives viewers a glimpse inside the lesser-known Rideau Cottage.
You can watch the interview above or tune into Our Ottawa when it airs Monday at 11 a.m. The show is preempted Saturday and Sunday by sports programming, but you can still watch it online.
