About Us

The Warriors' Day Parade Council, established in 1921, is an entirely volunteer based organization, responsible for the overall planning, promotion and execution of The Warriors' Day Parade. The Council is comprised of dedicated women and men with military backgounds as well as individuals with experience in organization, planning and marketing. As one Parade ends, planning begins almost immediately for the next year's Parade.

Meeting year-round, The Warriors' Day Parade Council with the support of dozens of other volunteers deals with the many complex details required to ensure a successful event.

Our Crest

In the mid-1990s, The Warriors' Day Parade Council adopted a crest (shown above) to be worn on their distinctive green blazers. The crest is surmounted by the Imperial Crown that was worn by His Majesty King George V when the Council was established in 1921. The centre piece of the crest is a stylized rendering of the Princes' Gates depicting both our loyalty to the Royal Family and our close association with the CNE. The flags surmounting the gates are the Union Jack and the Canadian Flag Ensign. These two flags are emblematic of those standards in use during our formative years as a Council, and also those under which many of our members served "King and Country."
