Men's Christmas Dinner
December 2006

Christmas in the Calgary Highlanders has always been a time of tradition, quiet reflection on a hard year of training, recognition of individual achievement, cameraderie, and above all recognition of the efforts made by the men of the rifle sections, and the rest of the Regiment whose job it is to lead and to support them, through the 12 previous months.
