Commanding Officer
56 Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery
One of the foundations of a successful regiment is having a strong regimental family. That family includes: the serving regiment, the families of our serving soldiers and finally a number of dedicated extra regimental organizations. From the very origins of our regiment these regimental organizations have provided critical support to the serving regiment. They provide an ability for retired members and friends of the regiment to continue to serve. From our first contingents sent to Europe in 1915 to our Gunners deployed to Afghanistan these organizations have been there when it counts. Whether it has been raising funds, sending care packages or providing practical support to families. The Family Support Group has taken up the torch and has supported the regiment in the finest traditions of service. On behalf of the all the Gunners of 56 Field Regiment I want to express my sincere appreciation of the service of Pat Cooke, Brenda Langas and Family Support Group.
