The regiment has an operational role that encompasses both the territorial defence of Canada and supporting regular Canadian
forces overseas. It also performs the mounting of the Ceremonial Guard on Parliament Hill and at Rideau Hall in Ottawa, a
task it shares with the Canadian Grenadier Guards. This gives the regiment a role similar to that of the guards regiments of
the British Army. The GGFG were formally allied with the Coldstream Guards of the United Kingdom after being informally allied
with them since the formation of the regiment. The regimental dress uniform has buttons in pairs, similar to the Coldstream
Guards, with a red plume (of different material and lengths, dependent on the rank of the soldier) worn on the left side of
the bearskin.
The medals and awards from many countries are currently being
reproduced.
It is becoming more difficult to be able to tell the fake ones from the real ones because
the quality of the reproductions are improving. The collector must become familiarized with
the construction style and materials employed in the manufacturing of these medals.
Attention to the details is critical in order to be able to determine the authenticity of
the collectible.
