The Black Watch of Canada Foundation

Preserve the legacy. Secure the future.

Join a national campaign to strengthen the Regiment, support its people and preserve more than 160 years of service, sacrifice and Canadian military heritage.

Why support matters

A Regiment sustained by those who believe in its mission.

The Department of National Defence supports the Regiment’s operational military role. Many important parts of Regimental life, however, depend upon private generosity.

The Foundation supports the wider Regimental Family, preserves history and traditions, strengthens community impact and helps prepare the Regiment for the future.

Giving to the campaign is an opportunity to become part of a proud tradition that has shaped Canada’s past and will help shape its future.
