Traditions

Introduction

In any military unit, traditions are born and maintained... and sometimes fade away. The origins of these routines and ceremonies typically lie deep in history; still others are inspired by accomplishments on the battlefield.

Canadian military units typically adopted the traditions of their allied Regiments in the British Army. Over the decades, these have inspired members of the Regimental family to preserve and protect the honour of the Regiment's accomplishments.

In this section of our website we hope to share examples of those traditions that involve the Pipes and Drums. The initial offering will be somewhat sparse, but it will grow as time goes on.
