History

32 Canadian Brigade Group (CBG) was created on April 1, 1997, with its Headquarters located in Toronto. Resulting from a major restructuring of the Army, it was established as one of ten Reserve brigade groups organized across Canada.

Although 32 CBG has a short history, this cannot be said of its units. Regiments like The Governor General's Horse Guards, The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada, The Royal Regiment of Canada, The Lorne Scots and The Grey and Simcoe Foresters were all founded before Confederation. Most units have served in almost all of the military campaigns involving Canadians: Fenian Raids, Red River Expedition, Northwest Rebellion, South African War, both World Wars and the Korean War.

25 Field Ambulance has been tasked with providing medical support to the Brigade.
