The RCA Association 150^th Anniversary Contest

Serving Canadian Gunners Since 1876

This year, 2026, marks the 150th anniversary of the formation of The Royal Canadian Artillery Association (originally the Dominion Artillery Association). To mark the occasion, we hope to increase our active membership by 150 new/returning members by the commencement of the 2nd Annual Artillery Fires Conference and Annual General Meeting to be held in October 2026.

Three (3) prizes will be awarded at the October 2026 Annual General Meeting as follows:

• A $100 supply of WoodenBike.ca RCAA branded coffee. The winner may choose from Charge 3 (light roast), Charge 5 (medium roast), or Charge 7 (dark roast) or any combination of these.
• A “With a Few Guns” Vol 1 and 2 book bundle (the unofficial history of the RCA in Afghanistan).
• A Royal Canadian Artillery Association polo shirt (available in red or blue, S, M, L, XL in men’s or women’s cut).

Benefits of Membership:

• Visit RCA Association Sponsors and Affinity Partners for information on affinity programmes available to registered members of the RCA Association.
• All Gunners have access to regimental support including the Gunner Peer Support (GPS) programme in time of need.
• The RCA Association offers up to $14 000 yearly in education bursaries. These are available to members of the Regimental Family. Regimental Bursaries

The fine print:

• The contest will run from 1 April 2026 until 30 September 2026.
• Each registration by a serving member will result in one (1) entry.
• Each enrolment by a retired/non-serving member will result in one (1) entry for a one-year membership, two (2) entries for a two-year membership, and three (3) entries for a five-year membership.
