===Public duties=== Along with their infantry role, the two regiments of foot guards are also tasked with ceremonial public duties at [[Rideau Hall]] and [[Parliament Hill]] in Ottawa as the country's household troops.<ref name=ggfg/><ref name=cgg/><ref name=ceremonialguard/> While both units perform public duties in the capital, only the Governor General's Foot Guards are based in Ottawa, with the Canadian Grenadier Guards based in [[Montreal]].<ref name=ggfg/><ref name=cgg/> In addition to supporting ceremonial duties at Rideau Hall and other events for the [[Governor General of Canada]], the Governor General's Foot Guards' Public Duties Company also oversees the [[Ceremonial Guard]]. The Ceremonial Guard is a subunit of the Governor General's Foot Guards that operates during the summer and is open to members of the [[Canadian Armed Forces]] who want to participate in ceremonial public duties. Service members in the Ceremonial Guard wear the uniforms of the two Canadian foot guard regiments, regardless of their actual regimental or unit affiliation, as they perform public duties traditionally carried out by the foot guard regiments.<ref name=ceremonialguard/>
