Fort York’s soldiers, then and now Soldiers built the garrison in 1793, defended it during the War of 1812 and, as the old fort became a museum in 1934, occupied the new armoury next door. Elements of the Royal Canadian Dragoons and the Royal Canadian Regiment (both now in Petawawa) were based at Stanley Barracks. This year on Simcoe Day, the Fort York Guard was reinforced for demonstrations of how Toronto’s first soldiers fought. Later in August, the Reserve combat units of Fort York Armoury deployed for annual manoeuvres. The Queen’s York Rangers joined the RCD for mounted exercises near Meaford, Ont., while the infantry of the Royal Regiment of Canada was in Petawawa training with the RCR.
