Rideau Hall is where the Governor General, David Johnston lives. Every year they have a winter celebration with outdoor skating, dog sledding, ten people skiing (I don't know what that's called), horse-drawn sleigh ride and tours of the residence.

They had little booths set up for Scandinavian countries where they served soup, warm beverages from their countries, hot chocolate and cookies. We waited in line for a long time and froze to death to go dog sledding, but it was worth it. The Governor General was walking around with tons of people following him and he said "hi" to me!
