78th Fraser Highlanders Association of Vancouver

The 78th Frasers Association of Vancouver issued Charitable tax receipts in 2024 however we continued to support our designated charities making donations to the Union Gospel Mission Vancouver Kid Safe Programme Vancouver Heritage Fairs Angel Tree Charity for the children of Prisioners and the SFU Scottish Studies Scholarship. We were advised in late 2024 that the Vancouver Heritage Fairs organised by the VAncouver School Board was being discontinued. Our group many of whom are seniors are all volunteers and unpaid and our eight executive members conduct the bulk of our volunteer hours attending events and organising fund raising dinners. We attend the Celtic festival in Surrey the Victoria and Coquitlam Highland Games on an annual basis promoting canadian history and interest in what we do in our community. In 2024 we had agreed to provide a colour guard in support of the City of New Westminster's Hyack Festival Opening Ceremonies in May 2024 which was cancelled by the prganisers. In the place of the Vancouver Heritage fairs we decided to add as our designated ongoing charities the BC Regiment Museum Society and the 15 Field Artillery Museum Society which will receive an annual donation each year going forward.
