More than $100K Raised for 24 Sussex Restoration: Rideau Hall Foundation
The foundation says 211 online donations and $50,000 in pledges have pushed the campaign past $100,000 toward a $50 million goal.
- On Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney launched a public fundraiser and design competition to restore 24 Sussex Dr., with the Rideau Hall Foundation reporting more than $100,000 in donations since the announcement.
- Vacant since 2015, the 1860s-era property previously housed nine prime ministers between the 1950s and 2015; Carney, currently residing at Rideau Cottage, does not expect to live in the renovated residence.
- The Rideau Hall Foundation received 211 online donations averaging $257 each, totaling just over $54,000, plus $50,000 in pledges between Friday and Monday at noon.
- Noted Canadian architect Moshe Safdie is leading a jury for the design competition, run by The Royal Architecture Institute of Canada, with a winner to be announced by Canada Day of 2027.
- The foundation aims to raise $50 million for the project, titled "Restoring 24 Sussex: A National Project for Future Generations," as CEO Teresa Marques said the group is "humbled and moved" by the response.
