e Fort York Guard and the Fort York Drums continue to grow. is year we expect to have 24 students in uniform. With our younger volunteers in the Fort York Drums we will be able to field a full contingent of 30 for major occasions. e Friends wish to thank Human Resources Development Canada for their support through the Youth Summer Employment Program. We also receive important support from the Young Canada Works program and from the Museum Grants program of the Culture Division at the City of Toronto. Members of the Friends provide base support through their participation in the Georgian Mess Dinner and
other donations, for which we thank them. Lastly, we generate funds through the operation of the parking lot at Fort York during the Molson Indy and the CNE (see following article -we need help!) As well as performing at Fort York, the Guard and Drums will perform at Black Creek Pioneer Village on August 7–8 and will visit Fort George (August 14–15) and Crysler’s Farm ( July 10–11). ey will also perform at Toronto City Hall at a date to be determined. Everyone is encouraged to make an effort to see the Fort York Guard and the Fort York Drums perform this summer.
