York Garrison, located in Toronto, is the largest of ten 78th Fraser Highlanders outposts in North America. Regimental Headquarters are located in Montreal, Quebec. Our objectives are to preserve the memory of the 78th Fraser Highlanders (1757-1763) and the role our Regiment played in Canadian, and Canadian Military history, to celebrate the contributions of early Scottish immigrants to Canadian culture, and to provide financial assistance to other organizations that parallel our objectives. Members (Officers) of the Garrison enjoy the camaraderie of our period Regimental Dinners, which are carried out with the greatest authenticity. Other more casual events provide less formal opportunities to get together, and enjoy each other’s company. Ladies are encouraged to join us at several special events each year. Officers are encouraged to participate in drill practice, where they perfect their knowledge of authentic 18th Century foot and weapons drill. Successful trainees can join The Honourable Guard, an elite unit that represents us at special public functions. Allied to the Honourable Guard is the Musket Squad, whose precision drill and acumen with their Brown Bess Muskets is a highlight of many parades. Annually, we present our Bear Hackle Award to a distinguished Canadian figure, ranging from current serving military, politicians, authors, journalists and many others, whose contributions have supported the awareness of Canadian military, and Canadian military history. We invite you to explore our website and reach us if you have any questions about our charitable organization.
