33 Signals Regiment Foundation
The 33 Signals Regiment Foundation is a local not-for-profit corporation that provides direct support to Ottawa-based Reserve soldiers (part-time) who serve with 33 Signals Regiment. The Regiment traces its roots to Ottawa’s own 3 Signals Company, formed in the National Capital in 1913. The Regiment is not without distinction, having won the Malloch Trophy, symbolic of the best Signals Unit in Canada, both pre and post-war more than any other unit in the history of the competition.
It’s members have served over the years in all of Canada’s wars and peacekeeping operations including most recently in the Balkans, Africa, and Afghanistan. The Regiment is part of the Communications and Electronics division of the Canadian Forces providing the needed information between the command post and the front line.
The Regiment has a strong history of supporting domestic operations ranging from OP RECUPERATION in 1998 (North American ice storm of 1998), to OP ABACUS in 1999 (Y2K), OP NANOOK (annual northern sovereignty operations), and OP CADENCE in 2010 (support to the G8/G20 Leader’s Summit).
The Regiment has also shown continued support to local community and charity events such as the Scott Tokessy Baseball Tournament, the Canadian Blood Services Blood Bank and, most notably for the past 25 years providing communications links and a safety presence for the Canadian Ski Marathon.
Upcoming Events
A small group of Canadian business men and women, and military reservists (15 in all) will travel to Teuge Holland on a para-mission, supported by the Dutch Military to increase the awareness of our fundraising mission to help CF Reservists with special needs that are not funded through traditional avenues.
