Pomp and pageantry will be on full display as the Regiment celebrates its 200th Anniversary with the Trooping of the Standard.About this Event
The Governor General’s Horse Guards have loyally served Canada since August 16, 1822, dating to the formation of the York Dragoons, a cavalry troop created to provide scouting and dispatch duties for the local infantry battalion. Under the leadership of Captain George Taylor Denison, the troop would become known as 1st Toronto Troop, or “Denison’s Troop”, and would be commanded by generations of the Denison family for 80 years.
This year’s 200th anniversary celebrations are dedicated to George Taylor Denison and all those that followed, serving with the Regiment and its perpetuated units since 1822. A legacy “Second to None”.
