Fort George 2017


This weekend found IMUC and IMAC at the Fort George Crown Forces 1812 Change of Command. Representatives of most of the 1812 community were able to attend as well. Some of those attending included The Royal Scots, Glengarry Light Infantry, Royal Newfoundland Regiment, the 10th, 41st, 49th, 89th, 2nd York Militia, Lincoln Militia BID, Native Allies, 100th, 17th Dragoons, Royal Artillery & Gun Crews, US 22nd, 19th, and Canadian Volunteers 
Congratulations and best wishes to outgoing General Peter Twist and incoming General Craig Williams, both of whom have contributed so very much to all aspects of War of 1812 life!
We would also like to thank Peter Martin of Fort George and his staff and volunteers for making us all so welcome. They truly went above and beyond the call of duty!
