The Changing of the Guard Ceremony happens every year. It takes places at Rideau Hall on Sussex Drive, or, more popularly, Parliament Hill. In the summer, from about late June until late August, the Ceremonial Guard march to music and perform military drills. The ceremony begins at 10am sharp, and goes on until 10:30. They suggest arriving early at 9:45 to get more information and for the best view.
I've gone to the Changing of the Guard on a few different occasions, mostly as a child. The kids seem to really love it and I remember thinking it was kind of like watching red toy soldiers come to life, with all of the marching. You'll find larger audiences on Canada Day, so it's definitely worth it to get there earlier to beat the crowd, especially if you're with your family.
