17-19 June 2022 in Pembroke, ON
For the latest update please press here.
Great news is here!!!! After two years of postponing the RCD Association Reunion because of COVID-19, things are finally seem to be returning to a new normal with restrictions lifting and people getting back to their lives. After a lot of discussion and correspondence, The Association has decided to proceed with RV22 this 17-19 June.
In Ontario, where we plan on executing the reunion, the number of restrictions have been lifted like limits to gathering numbers, cross-border restrictions, and vaccination passes, with more coming. If we maintain the current downward trend in cases, the mask mandate will be reduced by 21 March and all restrictions lifted by 27 April 22.
With these encouraging signs, it is long overdue to gather the Association members, Regimental Family and guests to have some fun and renew our sense of family. Having said this, we are facing a time crunch to book everything and need to have our minimum numbers committed to the event by 15 April so need you to register as soon as possible.
While the agenda is still being confirmed and flushed out, we are looking at a Meet & Greet on 15Jun, Dinner & Dance on the 16th, and possibly Golf (if enough interest is expressed).
As well, the venue for all events will be the Clarion Hotel Pembroke (613-735-6868) so we highly recommend you stay there if coming from out of town. Reservations must be made using the booking reference RV22 to take advantage of the group rate before 10 May 2022.
This event is shaping up to be a great opportunity to renew friendships and celebrate so please look closely at your calendar and submit the completed Registration Form back to the Organizer by 15 April.
Any questions: contact Bruce Prendergast at bwprendergast@hotmail.com or 613-504-2860.

The last Reunion was in Ottawa on the 15 Jun 2018, so we are long overdue to socialize with our Regimental family and friends. This should be a great opportunity to gather and catch up on events over the past years.
