Quebec's changing guard ceremony

A little goat named “Batisse”, the Régiment’s mascot. The idea of a goat as a
mascot came from Queen Victoria who in 1883 was presented with a special
breed of goat (billygoat) as a gift from the King of Iran. The same lineage has
been bred ever since and today’s Batisse is the twelfth of the line. There are
