Harrington Lake, the official summer residence where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spent Easter with his wife and children, has been undergoing $8.6 million in renovations. The committed funding of $8.6 million comes after a 2018 report found the prime minister's getaway needed $17 million of work done. In his memoir, Common Ground, Trudeau details the boyhood excursions he would embark on with his brothers and sometimes his dad, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau. Trudeau's primary residence is Rideau Cottage because the prime minister's traditional home, 24 Sussex Drive, requires significant repairs. NCC: Harrington Lake in critical stateA 2017 audit found the prime minister's official residences – both 24 Sussex Drive and Harrington Lake – are in "critical" condition.
