The Calgary Highlanders Regimental Association
Formerly the 10th Battalion Calgary Highlanders Association
Welcome to The Calgary Highlanders Regimental Association contact page.
The Association is made up of Calgary Highlanders, both serving and retired, as as well as friends of the regiment. In its broadest terms the Association serves as the primary link between the Unit and its past members. Our activities include publishing The Glen (the regimental newsletter), operating the Regimental Kit Shop and organizing social events. New members are more than welcome.
Below you will find information about our mission and governance and how to contact us.
Mission
Our mission within the regimental family is to:
- keep in touch with past members of the Calgary Highlanders and serve as the primary link
between the Unit and its past members; - recognize the achievements of the Unit’s soldiers;
- co-ordinate annual reunions; and
- support the Unit by operating a self-sustaining kit shop.
Governance
On 05 October 2011, the Association was incorporated under the Alberta Societies Act (5016356635), and is governed by our bylaws. Leadership is vested in a Board of Directors which is elected by members at the annual general meeting (AGM) held in April as part of the St. Julien’s weekend.

Annual Commemorations
The Regiment commemorates St Julien’s Day on the weekend closest to 22 April, commemorating the counter-attack by the 10th and 16th Battalions, CEF, on Kitcheners’ Wood on “The Glorious 22nd of April, 1915”. The occasion is marked by the annual reunion dinner of The Calgary Highlanders Regimental Association. The Regiment also exercises its right to the Freedom of the City of Calgary on this weekend by marching to church parade and a wreath laying at City Hall.
The Regiment also commemorates the Battle of Walcheren Causeway, one of many hard earned Battle Honours awarded to the Regiment for its service during the Second World War. The commemoration of this battle, on the weekend closest to 31 October, has traditionally included the participation of the Dutch community of Calgary.
The Regiment also participates in Remembrance Day services in communities throughout southern Alberta, from where the majority of their recruits were drawn during the Second World War.
