As the new President of the Airborne Regiment Association of Canada, I’d like to welcome all paratroopers past and present to our web site.

Our vision for ARAC is to be a conduit for camaraderie and social interaction for those of us who served in the Canadian Airborne Regiment from its formation in 1968 until its disbandment in 1995. We had many great times and the Regiment provided some of the best soldiering that we experienced throughout our careers.  We hope that all our former comrades, be they paratroopers or non- paratroopers that served in our ranks will keep in touch.
