Ottawa Parliament Hill.
Every summer morning at 10:00am, the Changing of the Guard takes place on Parliament Hill. It's a pageantry of marching music and military drills, performed by the Governor General's Foot Guards. In 2006, the ceremony runs from June 24 to August 26, weather permitting. Arrive early for the best spot on the grass of Parliament Hill. Admission is free.
