Since 1982 the Regimental Museum has become a showpiece of the Regiment. Under curator Greg Loughton (who enrolled as a Private) the jumbled artifacts collected over the years have been put into order, with new display cases being built and uniforms being displayed on mannequins. When Greg left us to become curator of the Royal Military Institute in Toronto, Capt Bill Edgar (ret) took his place temporarily. Temporarily soon became permanent, and Bill continues to run the museum with the help of the Museum Committee. All artifacts are owned by the museum society.
On display in the museum are uniforms and artifacts dating back to 1883, as well as an extensive collection of photographs, medals, and weapons. The old Brass Room was renamed the Major-General HFG Letson Room in 1991. The museum is open to members of the Regiment on any training night, as well as to the general public on Thursday afternoons, and on Tuesday evenings by special request. Interested parties are asked to contact the Regimental Orderly Room.
