On behalf of The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa Foundation and all members of the Regimental family, I welcome you to our website and sincerely hope that you will find it interesting and worthwhile. I am particularly proud of the quality of this site and wish to publicly thank RSM Rob Gagnon for his efforts in this regard. It is also very encouraging to see the number of emails we receive from people from all over, many of whom are seeking information on relatives who have served with the Regiment.

As you navigate around the site, you will learn about the various facets of the Regiment from our proud history to current operations and activities. You will also learn about the various components of the Regimental family that support the serving and retired members. I would like to mention that we have a Last Post section on the website. This may the only way that some of us are notified that a member of the Regiment has passed on.

Over the years, the Regimental Foundation has concentrated on three projects, namely and the much anticipated Regimental History project, the Bursary Program and the Bren Gun Carrier project. The Regimental History project is now complete and "Capital Soldiers: The History of The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa" by Dr. Kenneth Reynolds was launched on Friday, October 14, 2011, at the Wine & Cheese event during the Association's 66th Annual Reunion Weekend. The book is now available for purchase.

Our two other projects include:
The Bursary Program which awards scholarships of $500 to members of the unit for their studies. These bursaries are:

• The D-Day 13 Platoon Memorial Bursary
• The Colonel Donald and Dorothy Thompson Bursary

The Bren Gun Carrier project is the monument quality restoration and installation of a famed " Bren Gun Carrier", in original colours and tac signs, in front of Cartier Square Drill Hall. Slightly delayed by the Laurier Bridge restoration project, the vehicle itself is nevertheless being prepared through a partnership with the Royal Canadian Dragoons.
