Canada Black Watch Du Canada

The Black Watch, the oldest highland regiment in Canada, was established in Montreal on January 31, 1862, originally formed as the 5th Battalion Volunteer Militia Rifles of Canada in response to the military concerns during the American Civil War. Over the years, thousands of Canadian citizens have dedicated their service to the regiment, participating in various conflicts including the Boer War, World Wars, the Korean War, and UN peacekeeping missions worldwide.

In addition to its historical military role, the Black Watch has provided crucial support during national emergencies, such as the Quebec and Eastern Ontario ice storm disaster. The regiment continues to engage with the community, celebrating its heritage and honoring its veterans through events like parades and commemorative gatherings.
