Parliament Hill

Guestbook Parliament Hill - Changing the Guard

In 1987 I was a member of the Grenadier Guards Regiment from Montreal making up one Company of the Ceremonial Guard. We performed the Changing the Guard Ceremony on Parliament Hill as well as taking part in sentry duty at Rideau Hall. I was 18 years old and one of only five women participating that year from CGG. Two years later I returned to the Ceremonial Guard in an administrative capacity. I had the great privilege of filming the parade each day from the roof of Centre Block. From the ground, it appears that the roof forms a peak, but there's actually a small flat area one can stand on. Both of those experiences stand amongst the many highlights of my life thus far, and Parliament Hill will always be a special place for me.
