A and B batteries Garrison Artillery, which were the first regular components of the Canadian Forces, were formed on 20 October 1871.
While a number of Militia artillery units pre-date this, The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery has adopted the 20th of October as its birthday.
It is also celebrated as 1 RCHA’s unit birthday. As with Artillery Day, the Artillery Birthday may be celebrated with special parades, sports days, guest nights, parties, open houses and the like.
