The Governor General’s Horse Guards Association
When the Active Regiment demobilized in 1946, many Horse Guards were anxious to form some sort of organization so that the comradeship and good feeling that existed between all ranks while on active service could be maintained and carried on into the future.
In November 1949, The Governor General's Horse Guards Association was formed and is open to all active and former members of the Governor General's Horse Guards Regiment, officers and NCOs alike as well as friends of the Regiment. The Association exists to keep former members informed and in touch with each other and the Regiment.
During the years 1950 and 1951, the Association encountered and overcame many difficulties but today it remains one of the most active and strongest group of its kind with a membership that can be found in Canada from coast to coast and in the United States and England.
Throughout the year, the Association endeavours to get members together as much as possible and hosts a number of social events such as the Annual Darts Night, D-Day Dodgers Dinner, the Annual Memorial Dinner and the End of Year Get-Together each December, all aimed at promoting camaraderie among its members.
The Association publishes a quarterly newsletter, Regimental Lines, which is the envy of other organizations and maintains an Internet online presence through its website and on this page.
