The Citadel in Quebec City is a 37 acre fortress built in the early 1800's to protect the city from Indian attack and the threat of an American invasion. It is currently the summer home of the 22nd Regiment and the location of an official residence of the Governor General of Canada. Situated 330 feet above the St. Lawrence River it offers a commanding view of the city and the surrounding landscape. During the summer months the 22nd provide ceremonial duties with their mascot Batisse. The Regimental mascot for the 22nd Regiment of Canadian Forces was originally given to the Queen by the Shah of Persia. The Queen gave the goat Batisse to the regiment, and ever since then he and his descendants have served as the mascot of the regiment.
