The Regiment role

The Canadian Grenadier Guards (CGG) is a primary reserve infantry battalion. Located in the heart of Montreal, it is Canada's oldest militia unit.

The role of the CGG is to provide combat ready infantry deployment troops in accordance with tasks assigned from the Department of National Defence (DND). The Regiment has supplied reserve soldiers to assist in United Nations Forces in locations such as the former Yugoslavia, Cyprus, Egypt,Golan heights, and presently to Afghanistan. In addition to this operational role, each summer the CGG fulfills federal public duties by the provision of an infantry company plus for the "Changing of the Guard" ceremony on Parliament Hill in Ottawa - our national capital.
