The Royal Regiment of Canada is the largest Army regiment in the Canadian Forces Primary Reserve. It is an infantry unit based in Toronto, Ontario, part of Land Force Central Area's 32 Canadian Brigade Group. The regiment was formed in 1936 as the Royal Regiment of Toronto Grenadiers through the amalgamation of two other regiments:
The regiment was renamed in 1939 as The Royal Regiment of Canada. Today, the regiment has a total of three companies and one ceremonial company allocated to the Royal Regiment of Canada Army Cadet Corps:
The regiment evolved from the 10th Royal Grenadiers and thus inherited British traditions. The regiment was authorized to wear the distinctive scarlet uniform of the "Guards" on all ceremonial occasions by decree of Queen Victoria. The regiment's members have served in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Cambodia, Croatia, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, the Golan Heights, Haiti, Namibia, and Sierra Leone.

[edit] Band of The Royal Regiment of CanadaThe Band of The Royal Regiment of Canada is the oldest permanently organized band in the Canadian Forces. Based at Fort York in Toronto, Ontario, the band has continued to serve its country, province, and city in many different roles throughout the world since its formation in 1863. Some highlights from the band's itinerary are:
Recent years have seen the band travel from Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, to Victoria, British Columbia, with many performances in between (including the launching of the ship the Hector in Pictou, Nova Scotia, The Summerside Tattoo in Prince Edward Island, and the 2000 International Military Festival of Music in Quebec City). In addition there have been numerous trips to the United States to participate in events such as the historic Fort Ticonderoga Tattoo and The Rochester International Marine Tattoo in New York State, the TRADOC Military Tattoo in Fort Monroe, Virginia, and the renowned Stone Mountain Highland Games Military Tattoo in Atlanta, Georgia. The band’s four recordings: Ready Aye Ready; In Concert, On Parade; Footsteps in Time; and Fields of Honour, have been met with enthusiastic response and won wide critical acclaim. The various groups within the main musical organization are extremely active. Their wide ranging activities include live, televised and broadcast music, colourful marching displays, concert performances, ceremonial fanfare trumpets, opening ceremonies at many functions and conventions, and dance and reception music. The Director of Music for the band is Lieutenant William Mighton, CD, Mus. Bac., RRC. The Director of Music Emeritus is Major Gino Falconi, SBStJ, KLMC, CD, Mus. Bac. RRC (Ret’d).

The association meets the first Wednesday of each month September to June in the Royal Regiment of Canada Warrant Officers and Sergeants Mess in Canadian Forces Armoury - Fort York. The main goal of the association is to maintain the comradeship and esprit du corps of the regimental family. The association has recently (2008) co-ordinated a successful fund rising campaign aimed at obtaining sufficient stocks of the scarlet and blue full dress of the regiment to enable the majority of its personnel to parade in this traditional uniform on ceremonial occasions. The association also maintains a site focused on the history and ongoing activities of the unit. www.rregtc-assoc.ca [edit] Alliances
