Forgot to mention, to echo UCB's comment above, the cenotaph is essentially across Wellington Street from Parliament Hill and the guards arrive at 9 am and leave at 5 pm. The changing of the guard on Parliament Hill is done for the summer (no more marching up Elgin Street) but they do have a concert at 10 or 10:30 most days. Check the schedule. Old style uniforms from the GG Foot Guards with bearskin hats and red uniforms. Kids might find it fun!
Also don't recommend taking the train from the airport. They don't advertise that it takes two connections to get downtown!
