On Nov. 4, Justin Trudeau took his children Ella-Grace and Xavier to the top of the Peace Tower and Ella-Grace helped with the flag. Outside the elevator to the Peace Tower, Trudeau fist-bumps with a lion statue, a tradition started by the man who replaces the flag each day. The kids also had a chance to look at Trudeau’s new office in the Centre Block.
