PPCLI 107th
Regimental Anniversary

The Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) was founded on 10 August 1914 and we celebrate our Regimental anniversary accordingly. In 2021 we are conducting a bike ride to raise funds in support of Veterans and their Families. Our charitable fund is the Hamilton Gault Memorial Fund (HGMF) 88878 6647 RT0001. The HGMF supports the Regimental Museum, maintains major Regimental Memorials such as Frezenberg in Belgium, Patricia Park in Edmonton and Lansdowne Park in Ottawa, provides educational bursaries, support PPCLI Cadet Corps and provide Mental Health and Suicide Awareness training and finally bit not last supporting Veterans and their families.

You can order Cycling Gear direct from Jakroo at the link to the left. The store will be open 1 to 15 June and you should receive your gear by the end of June. Prices drop as more orders are placed. It is strongly recommended that you order one size up from the sizing chart.

You can also order a Personal Legacy Stone by contacting France Bourgeois at execdirector@ppclifoundation.ca.

The primary event will be held on Sunday 8 August 2021 and culminate with riders arriving at Patricia Park, Griesbach Parade NW, Edmonton, AB around 1400 hours. We will then host a virtual service so that Branches across Canada can participate. As part of this service we will also be dedicating Personal Legacy Stones that have been installed this year in memory of Patricias and their families.

Have fun, cycle 107 km, do 107 laps of the pool, walk for a 107 km or do any other activity of your choice. The aim is to get out, exercise and support the Regiment by having fun as we raise funds for the Hamilton Gault Memorial Fund. You can show your progress to your sponsors by signing up for the virtual bike rides. Just add your daily or weekly progress to the ride. If you are doing a activity other than biking, add your estimate of how many kms it would equal. Most people bike 1 km in 3 minutes, according 30 minutes of activity would be 10 kms.
