Membership

The membership has changed considerably since the days when only Active soldiers and Veterans were members. Today, many widows, sons and daughters of Veterans are members and are proud to support the Regiment. There are also many former members who are currently members of other Branches of the Canadian Forces. From a high of over 2,500 members in the 1960s, we are now holding strong at more than 1,000. This is one of the largest Reserve Regimental Associations in Canada.

Activities

Members of the Association and active members of the Regiment are invited to attend monthly meeting in the WOs’ & Sgts’ Mess on the first Thursday of every month between Sept – Jun. There is a brief meeting when business is conducted, a report about the Regiments’ activities and lots of time to mix with friends and comrades who support the Regiment.

Over the years, the Association has gradually assumed responsibility for many activities once performed by Regimental personnel. This has been necessary because of the much greater effort required by the Regiment for Military Operations & Training. Some of these activities are Fund Raising, Veterans’ Welfare & Hospital Visiting, Newsletters, the Annual Reunion Dinner, etc. Association members have assisted at Recruiting booths and take part in Memorial events in Canada and Overseas when members of the Regiment are not available.
