The Canadian Grenadier Guards

The Canadian Grenadier Guards (CGG) is a Canadian Army Primary Reserve infantry regiment belonging to the 34 Canadian Brigade Group, within the 2nd Canadian Division. The CGG is based in the Canadian Grenadier Guards’ Armoury, in Montreal. Established in 1859, it is the Canadian Militia’s oldest infantry regiment. It is a guards regiment that shares responsibility with the Governor General’s Foot Guards for the ceremonial guard at Rideau Hall and on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa.
