It's a shame that in The Queen of Canada's Capital of Ottawa, the Guard isn't changed daily all year, instead of just a tourist show in the summer.
I certainly remember how cold it gets in Ottawa in the winter. Not sure if you want to subject tourists to that.
From a scion of Hamilton where it's warmer and has a distinctive lack of snow during the winter - and no, it's not because the steel mills melt it first...

What would be really nice would be if they took up the offers of any number of Canadian military units to mount a 24/7/365 guard on the nearby National War Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which as anyone who has worked in the area knows have been grossly disrespected in the past, and only rarely with any publicity.
