The regiment operates out of the old Garrison Building on Ile
Ste-Helene. It undertakes a number of fund raising activities
which enable it to support various projects and charities. In
addition, the Highlanders hold frequent regimental dinners as
well as an Annual Ball.
Since
1966, students wearing authentic uniforms of the eighteenth
century have performed drills with muskets, cannons, bagpipes,
and drums at the Stewart Museum (the Old Fort, Ile Ste-Helene),
and this has become a major tourist attraction.
Pipers
and drummers have been part of all Scottish events in the
Montreal area for many years.
