During the month of September, CMT deployed 20 soldiers and horses to Calgary to support the three Spruce Meadows Tournaments. The Troop conducted 40 vidette tasks and provided VIP vedettes during the Round Table and Palliser Dinner.
"The soldiers are ecstatic to be at the Stampede," said Captain Ali Mansour, an Armoured Officer with Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) and the Ceremonial Mounted Troop Leader. "We are very privileged and fortunate to do six shows here."
As a long semi-isolated deployment comes to an end, soldiers of the enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group (BG) Latvia have found a number of novel ways to pass the time.
Although we have not been able to conduct any large scale parades we have still ensured that our soldiers have been promoted or received the appropriate recognition for their performance.
As May draws to a close the members of enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Latvia have started to switch gears and look forward to some much needed rest and relaxation, as they start to look forward to redeployment.
April has been a great month for the members of eFP BG LVA. The previous month had been exciting, but with the arrival of COVID-19 personnel got confined to base and the calendar cleared up.
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.
