Seaforth Highlanders of Canada Patron Corps

Formed over 20 years ago, the men and women of the Seaforth Highlanders Patrons Corps, through an initial donation and occasional others, provide financial and moral support to the Regiment. 

The Patrons assist in raising funds to support and grow the Cadet Corps, Pipes & Drums, as well as assist the Regiment in the preservation of its history, heritage and tradition.  Most recently, in an advocacy role, the Patrons, under the leadership of the Chair, Hon. Colonel (Ret’d)  the Hon. John Fraser had an effect in limiting the cuts to the military portion of the 2010 Federal budget.

Patrons are encouraged to attend all Seaforth activities such as the Vimy and Ortona dinners as well other functions planned in the Officers Mess at the Armoury on Burrard Street. The recent affiliation with the Navy Frigate HMCS VANCOUVER will provide new opportunities to associate with the “Senior Service” such as day sails. Patrons also have the opportunity, where possible, to view training exercises and visit the firing range.

Valued members of Regimental family, the Patrons play a very important role. Their names have a place of honour in the Armoury.

Patrons are supporters who donate $2,500 to the Patrons Corps. They are encouraged to continue their support with annual giving of $200 or more.
