Events Description

 

This is a chance to see one of our training facilities, hold a musket, ask questions and get a ‘feel’ for what we are all about. Please join us at the ‘Cooper Key Gallery’ located in The Military Museums for a visit and to find out more about the Frasers.

You must be between the ages of 10 – 15, have an interest in pipe bands and Canadian history. There is no cost for the training. If you like the sound of the Great Highland Bagpipe, or the old replica Rope Tension Snare Drums…or muskets, swords and things the ‘blow up’ – then come and find out more!

There is NO CHARGE for the training the band members receive. All we ask is that they do their best to learn what we have to teach!

The Fort Calgary Garrison is one of ten outposts of the 78th Fraser Highlanders, an internationally acclaimed historical society, dedicated to the preservation of the memory of the original Regiment and Canadian Military history of the period mid-1700’s and celebration of the contributions of the early Scots to Canadian culture.

The primary focus of the Fort Calgary Garrison is to provide a well rounded youth training program which includes instruction in piping, drumming, highland dancing, musketry, weapons handling & safety, leadership, citizenship and history.
