The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada is a Canadian Forces Primary Reserve, infantry regiment, based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The regiment is part of Land Forces Western Area's 39 Canadian Brigade Group.
Based at the Seaforth Armoury on Burrard Street in Vancouver, the regiment serves in both times of war and civil emergency, such as disaster relief after earthquakes or floods. It also contributes individual volunteers or "augmentees" to Canadian Forces operations around the world.
The regiment was formed in 1910 and served overseas in both World War I and World War II. Members of the Seaforth Highlanders have deployed on many missions since World War II including Korea, Egypt, Cyprus, Croatia and most recently in Afghanistan.
Brett Tyre is one of the reservists who deployed to Afghanistan in 2009, spending his time there on convoy escort duty out of Kandahar. A regular attendee at the Delta Police Pipe Band's Burns Suppers, Brett celebrated Burns, 2010, dining on tinned haggis with some of his comrades. The portrait was to mark his safe return and was presented to him at the Band's Burns Supper, 2011.
