The 3BAM is a volunteer organization dedicated to supporting Cadets and honoring our Canadian Armed Forces war veterans. With our WWII 25 pounder artillery gun, limber (ammunition carrier) and gun tractor we support a number of ceremonial and training events. The artillery gun, deployed for ceremonial salutes and military parades, further serves as an impressive “rolling museum” as it provides a tangible link to the past and provides citizens with an opportunity to connect with a piece of military history.
The recruitment and development of Cadets is central to
our mission. Using our equipment, Cadets are given the
chance to work as a team and maneuver a 2½ ton artillery
gun used by allied troops during World War II. Cadets who
take responsibility for maintaining the gun and tractor are
mentored by seasoned artillery veterans. Maintenance courses
supervised by experienced artillery gunners offer hands-on
experiences in teamwork, enabling Cadets to develop a sense
of the “esprit de corps” that shapes our honored fighting
forces.
Our aim is to support
cadets and honor
veterans. Consider joining
our “Gun Crew” and
help us promote this
vital link to our military
past. Participate with us
in parades, educational
activities, ceremonial firings, special civic events – help keep
the memory of our fallen alive.
