Valcartier, Quebec
14 October 2014
Prime Minister Stephen Harper today attended a celebration to mark the 100th anniversaries of both the Royal 22e Régiment and Valcartier Garrison. Prime Minister Harper is an honorary member of the Regiment.
The Royal 22e Régiment (R22eR), frequently called the ‘Van Doos’, is the only entirely Francophone infantry regiment in the Regular Force.
Valcartier Garrison was established in 1914 as an assembly camp, near Quebec City, to train the first Canadian Expeditionary Force for their combat role in the First World War.
