Once-prestigious 24 Sussex full of rodents, carcasses: National Capital Commission
OTTAWA — When a lumber baron first built a home for his wife 24 Sussex Drive, he described it as a place of peace, but now it has become a place of rodents.
Documents from National Capital Commission say the rodent infestation in the official residence of Canada’s prime minister is so severe that the walls, attic and basement are filled with carcasses and excrement.
The issues were first reported by the National Post newspaper, which obtained the documents through the access-to-information law.
The National Capital Commission has now published the documents and says the rodent problem is causing air quality concerns.
