Royal Guards from the Royal 22e Regiment

These are Canadian soldiers, in these uniforms because the Governor-General is in residence here at La Citadelle, and as the queen's representative, she gets a royal guard.

[Note]: I had it rather rudely pointed out to me that this regiment does not have an English name, so I was wrong to call it the Royal 22nd Regiment. Contrary to what my accuser said, I never intended any disrespect to the regiment or the population of Québec City. The message I received was so confrontational I was tempted not to correct anything, but like I said, no disrespect was ever intended.
