The purpose of the Regimental Manual is to record the customs and traditions of the Regiment with a view to providing a source of corporate memory for Strathconas of all generations: serving, retired and future.
The 2018 Edition of the Strathconian is available for viewing. The Strathconian is published under the authority of the Commanding Officer and is funded by the Regimental Fund (Non-Public Fund), the Regimental Society and advertising revenue.
