Government Houses in Canada
In Canada, Government House is a title given to the royal residences of the country's monarch and various viceroys. Though not universal, in most cases the title is also the building's sole name; for example, the sovereign's and governor general's principal residence in Ottawa is known as Government House only in formal contexts, being more generally referred to as Rideau Hall. The use of the term Government House is an inherited custom from the British Empire, where there were and are many government houses.
There is currently no government house for the Lieutenant Governors of Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, or the Commissioner of the Northwest Territories. The Lieutenant Governor of Ontario has a suite within the Ontario Legislative Building.Present government houses
