We have been re-enacting the Incorporated Militia of Upper Canada for over 30 years.  We were originally formed in 1813 and disbanded in 1815. We participated in the Battle of York and The Battle of Lundy's Lane as well as serving all throughout the Niagara Peninsula. We attend battles and events all thorough out southern Ontario, the northern US and have even gone to Waterloo, Belgium.  
 
On Saturday April 2 we will set up a display of kit and weaponry that we will run all day. Usually we will include three tactical and drill demos that last 20 to 25 minutes with firing.. 11:00 am, 1:30 pm , and 3:00pm.  We have a set of uniforms and a dwelling and can run a mini-militia with the kids after each of the demos.  These last about 10 - 12 minutes and are great photo ops for parents.
