Open House - 20 April 2024
The Regiment held a very successful open house with about 200+ individuals dropping by Bessborough Armoury to say hello and find out more about the Regiment. There was a C3 set up, recruiting table, small arms table band quartet (or was it a sextet?) and the indirect fire trainer. In addition the Regimental Museum was open and the older guns were on display manned by volunteers from the Vancouver Artillery Association. Plus we had the Royal Canadian Artillery Association represented. There was even a BBQ food truck. Great job by everyone! Great comments by the visitors. They were either neighbours, former members or individuals with an interest in the Canadian Armed Forces. Many had never been inside the armoury, despite walking by it on many occasions and wondering what took place within. The grandson of BSM Lockhart from 85 Battery, Yorke Island dropped by for a visit and Peter Moogk brought his Vancouver Chapter of the United Empire Loyalists of Canada. Great event that we should do more often.
