Trans Canada Trail Plaque at 24 Sussex Drive

The plaque commemorating the Trans Canada Trail at 24 Sussex Drive occupies a place west of the roundabout connecting Princess Avenue, Rideau Gate and Sussex Drive, in the garden of the coach house at 24 Sussex Drive.


The coach house at the gates of 24 Sussex Drive, as of 2009, has
heritage recognition. Since I can't get entry to the 24 Sussex
grounds to photograph it from every angle, this will be one of
the few images of it appearing on this blog site.


Trans Canada Trail

The path at 24 Sussex Drive and on the grounds of Rideau Hall has been designated an honorary section of the Trans Canada Trail, one of the world's longest and grandest recreational trails.

This plaque was unveiled by Their Excellencies The Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, and Mrs. Sharon Johnston, TCT Honorary Patrons, and Mrs. Laureen Harper, TCT Honorary Campaign Chair.


Sentier Transcanadien

Ce sentier, situé sur le domain de Rideau Hall et au 24, promenade Sussex, a été désigné tronçon honoraire du sentie Transcanadien, un des sentiers récréatifs les plus longs et les plus grandioses au monde.

Cette plaque a été dévoilée par Leurs Excellences le très honorable David Johnston, gouverneur général du Canada, et madame Sharon Johnston, présidents d'honneur du Sentier, et madame Laureen Harper, présidente honoraire de la campagne du Sentier.
