Wasaga Under Siege 2018

We were once again invited back by the Friends of Nancy Island to participate in their Wasaga Under Siege weekend.  Members of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, The Crown Forces Drums, The 49^th, The Canadian Volunteers, The US 22^nd and the Royal Artillery were also hosted on the island.  Displays, demonstrations, the candy cannon, a mini militia, His Majesty’s Loyal Sutlers,  as well as a series of musical performers made up a full schedule on Saturday and Sunday!  As always we were very well taken care of by the Nancy Island staff and volunteers!

Siege of Fort Erie, 2018

The annual Siege of Fort Erie is always one of the favourites for the Incorporated Militia of Upper Canada and for the Incorporated Militia Artillery Company.  This year was no exception as the fort staff and volunteers continued with the high degree of professionalism we have come to count on.  It was a little warm, but dry canvas at the end of a weekend is worth it!  The cicadas again were out in full force and provided lots of entertainment for our little ones!

Simcoe Day in Fenlon Falls!

The Incorporated Militia of Upper Canada was invited to participate in the Simcoe Day celebrations in Fenlon Falls Ontario. We set up camp on the island behind the falls between the channel to the lock and the river! It seems the entire town and all its visitors were on site for our three demonstrations and skirmishes! Our camp was open, and members of Our Artillery Company were there to explain the parts and workings of our howitzer! LOTS of people and LOTS of questions!
