Our goal is to bond the Officers of the Regiment with Ladies and Gentleman of our community in an engagement commensurate with their status as leaders of the Waterloo Region. An invitation to dine in the Mess is an opportunity to enter the home of the Regimental Officers and share in the life of the Regiment. We believe that there is a significant link between the community and our Regiment. Mess dinners provide us with the opportunity to invite leaders of our community into the Mess to foster morale, build esprit de corps, and gain a mutual understanding of the Canadian Forces and community issues.
