MESSAGE FROM\u00a0<\/small>The Honorary-Colonel<\/h1>\n

I am incredibly proud to be a member of our esteemed Regiment. After serving in the 2nd<\/sup> Division for several years, I have developed a deep appreciation for the qualities of both our active members and retirees, who together make up our exceptional regimental family. Our rich history and traditions have earned us respect and recognition within the Canadian Armed Forces for our excellence. Furthermore, our personnel not only serve as a shining example of diversity but also play a vital role in enhancing the operational strength of our Brigade. Thank you for your unwavering commitment, leadership, and service.<\/p>\n

Honi soit qui mal y pense.<\/em><\/p>\n
