Lorne Scots Regimental Association

The Association has two main objectives: to maintain contact with present and former members of the Lorne Scots Regiment and to ensure their well-being. The Lorne Scots (Peel Dufferin & Halton Regiment) is one of Canada’s oldest military units, tracing its' lineage back to the colonial days in the 1700s when settlers first took up arms to defend their homes. The Regiment’s Official formation took place in Brampton, Ontario on 14 September 1866. The Regiment has served in nearly every engagement the Canadian Army has ever taken part in, from the Boer War, both World Wars, Korea, Peacekeeping Operations around the globe, Humanitarian and Disaster Relief Operations at home and around the globe, and most recently combat operations in Afghanistan. The Lorne Scots has also been the beginning of lifelong friendships and careers for thousands of soldiers. The Regiment is supported by, and held together, by the Regimental Association.
