Seaforth Highlanders of Canada
Regimental Association
Message from the
President
Seaforths, Regimental
Association Members, family and
friends, I hope everyone is having
a great summer. The new training
year for the Regiment will begin in
a few weeks. With the energy and
enthusiasm the serving soldiers
will bring to this year’s training
calendar, we aim to do the same
with the efforts of the Association.
I would like to mention the
efforts of HLCol Rod Hoffmeister.
As the Honorary Lieutenant
Colonel of the Regiment, as the
past Association President, and as
someone who has taken on many
extra “hats” for the Association,
HLCol Hoffmeister’s undertakings
on behalf of the Seaforth have been
large and tireless. I will have big
shoes to fill succeeding him as the
incoming president and I offer a
heartfelt thank you to him for all
he has done and continues to do on
behalf of the Seaforth family.
During my service with
the Battalion, the Association was
looked at as something members
would join “eventually,” after
release or upon retirement. We
hope to change that by making
it more interesting to serving
members and by getting feedback
from everyone in the Regimental
family. We are seeking input/
suggestions/ideas from all
quarters. If you have a notion on
how we can increase visibility
or cooperation between the
Association and other parts of the
Regimental family we’d like to hear
from you. The 2015 Association
committee is somewhat uniquely
comprised of myself, a recently
released CAF member, and two still
serving members. This, I hope, is
the foundation for a diverse and
inclusive Association, one that
will bridge gaps of generations,
interests and experience. Anyone
reading this, join us, and please
encourage your comrades to do so.

A Leaner Executive
At the AGM on 20 May 2015 bylaw 27 of the constitution was amended to reduce the number of
members that sit on the Regimental Association Executive from five to three. The motion was passed
unanimously. The executive is now made up of the President, the Treasurer and the Secretary. The reduction is
in response to the difficulties of finding members that are interested in sitting on the executive.
