The Pembroke/Petawawa branch Reunion |
|
revised 7 Jan 2012 |
Welcome to the Canadian Guards Association website. The Canadian Guards was the senior Canadian Infantry Regiment from 1953 to 1970 when it was disbanded as part of a larger defence review. The Regimental Association of former members and their spouses perpetuates the memory of the Regiment and of all who served in her ranks.

A note from Howie on the late John Hunt (Jan 21)

A number of Ottawa area members meet for lunch every Thursday upstairs in the Fox and Feather Pub located at the corner of Elgin and MacLaren Streets. All Association members and friends in the area or visiting from out of town are encouraged to join the group any Thursday. The Ottawa Valley and Eastern Ontario monthly pub lunch remains the first Thursday of each month. |

The Association has two major roles:
1. to provide a means for its former members to maintain the associations and friendships that they formed while serving Canada and
2. to assist members, their spouses and survivors in meeting the challenges they face as they grow older.
This site provides a background to the Regiment, current news and planned activities, notes on people to help all of us maintain contact with one another and advice and assistance to those who need it. You are welcome to the site and we hope that you benefit from the spirit of comradeship and service to Canada it represents.
“ . . . Canadian Guardsmen established a standard in drill, deportment, and discipline . . . the envy of the Canadian Army . . . A regimental spirit developed that was truly Canadian, a determination to succeed, to make the Regiment the best . . . [and]. All who served in the Canadian Guards can take pride that it was a Regiment Worthy of Its Hire” From The Canadian Guards 1953-1970, W.J. Patterson.
The Association is established to foster, maintain and promote the comradeship and well-being of former members of the Regiment and to perpetuate the high ideals established by the Regiment between its formation and transfer to the Reserve.
The Association shall fulfill its purpose through the following activities:
a. maintaining a list of active members,
b. publishing newsletters at least twice annually,
c. arranging reunions and informal social functions, and
d. operating The Canadian Guards Museum

Membership remains a bargain
