Description
We were delighted host the 71st Grand Highland Military Ball which took place on Saturday, February 29, 2020 at the Fairmont Palliser Hotel. The Crystal Ballroom once again echoed to the sounds of our very own Regimental Pipes and Drums and the massed Calgary Highlanders Cadet Corps Pipes and Drums.Whirling Highland Dancers and the chance for all to do some Scottish Country Dancing combine with banners and tartans, haggis, and Scottish poetry to create a Highland ambiance.

The Grand Highland Military Ball proudly raises funds for initiatives ranging from youth education through our cadet movement; veteran support; mental health support for our soldiers and their families, and to preserving our regimental history and traditions. This year we particularly appreciate your support as the Regiment prepares to deploy 20-25 soldiers to Latvia as part of the Canadian Lead NATO Enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group in 2020. This will be the unit's largest deployment since Afganistan.
