Name: 2026 Saskatoon Vimy Dinner
Start: 2026-04-11T18:00:00-06:00
Location: Hugh Cairns Armoury

We invite you to attend the 6th Annual Saskatoon Vimy Dinner, presented by the Concorde Group of Companies, on Saturday April 11, 2026, at the Sgt Hugh Cairns VC Armory. Our guest of honour and speaker this year is retired General Rick Hillier, OC, CMM, ONL ,MSC, CD, who served as Chief of the Defence Staff from 2005 to 2008, the height of Canada’s involvement in Afghanistan. Our music will be provided by an ensemble from the Royal Canadian Artillery Band.
Since 2016, the Saskatoon Vimy Dinner has been Saskatchewan’s premier military event. We are proud soldiers of the North Saskatchewan Regiment, 38 Service Battalion and 38 Combat Engineer Regiment, which are 3 of 7 Canadian Army Primary Reserve units located in Saskatchewan, with soldiers in Saskatoon, Regina, and Prince Albert.
Your support of the dinner provides our units with non-public funds that enables us to: provide educational bursaries to soldiers; continue to improve team spirit through support to the regimental kit shops; preserve our unit histories by assisting our soldiers traveling to Europe to visit our past battlefields; host barbecues and holiday events for soldiers’ families; and to support our soldiers or their families in times of great need. Additionally, we will be making a donation to the Military Family Resource Centre Saskatchewan, which supports all regular force members and reservists located in SK and their families with things such as child/elder care and youth programming.
More importantly, your support and presence will allow us to share our traditions and spend time with our soldiers where you will better understand what it means to be a reservist. The success of the Canadian Army Reserves can only happen if you, our community leaders, understand the value in hiring reservists. Please help us maintain a strong Saskatchewan reserve force.
