Collection: Canadian Government Information

A collection of Canadian federal, Ontario provincial and Toronto municipal government websites.

Canada’s official guest house offers a home away from home to foreign dignitaries. It is located across the street from the residences of the governor general and the prime minister and serves as a pied-à-terre in the Capital for official visitors.

The house was built in 1862 by Henry Osgoode Burritt, an Ottawa mill-owner. It saw many different occupants, including several generations of the Lambart family, before being acquired by the federal government in 1966 as an official guest house.

In 1989, the house was restored and refurnished to function more efficiently as a guest house and to better reflect its own history.
