From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 7th Toronto Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery is a militia (i.e. part time reserves) regiment of Land Force Central Area's 32 Canadian Brigade Group, which makes up the 32nd artillery in Toronto, Ontario.

The regiment was formed in 1965 when all the gunner units within the Toronto garrison (29th Field Regiment, 42nd Medium Regiment and 1st Locating Regiment) were merged. The regiment is the only Royal Canadian Artillery unit with its city name in its title.

The regiment parades at Moss Park Armoury.

There are three batteries within the regiment, 9 Bty - the firing battery, 15 Bty - the mortar battery as well as training and recruiting, and 130 Bty - the headquarters battery.

The regiment currently operates the 105mm C3 Howitzer along with the 81mm Mortar. Gun crews are also trained in the C6, C7, C9A1, M72 and 84mm Carl Gustav.
