160th Anniversary of the Lorne Scots

On behalf of the officers, soldiers and veterans of The Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin and Halton Regiment), The Lorne Scots Regimental Association is proud to host a weekend of celebration marking 160 years of service to Canada.

From a Friday evening reception in Georgetown to a Freedom of the City parade through downtown Brampton and a formal dinner in Mississauga, this weekend brings together serving members, veterans, families and friends of the Regiment to honour the history, heritage and people who have carried its colours since 1866.

We invite you to join us for one event or all three.
