Annual Inspection of the Ceremonial Guard and Storytime

June 25, 2026

This morning, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief Arbour conducted the annual Inspection of the Ceremonial Guard at Rideau Hall, a long-standing tradition of military precision, polish and pageantry. 

She then joined Storytime to read a book to young readers and their families. Held in partnership with United for Literacy and the Ottawa International Writers Festival, Storytime inspires a love of reading.
