York Garrison in Toronto is the largest of the ten the 78th Fraser Highlanders Outposts in North America. Regimental Headquarters is located in Montreal, Quebec. Our objectives are to preserve the memory of the 78th Fraser Highlanders and the Canadian Military history of the period (mid-1700’s), to celebrate the contributions of the early Scots to Canadian culture, and to provide financial assistance to other non-profit 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 (known as “Toss o’ the Quaiche”) provide less formal opportunities to get together. Ladies are encouraged to join us at a few 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 the highlight of many parades. Annually, we present The Bear Hackle Award to a distinguished Canadian literary figure whose contributions have increased the awareness of Canadian military history. We invite you to visit other pages of our website and refer to the attached links for more information.
