The Royal Westminster Regiment is the oldest military unit on the British Columbia mainland, established in 1863 following a petition from New Westminster citizens seeking protection from local threats. Originally formed as the New Westminster Volunteer Rifles, the Regiment has undergone several changes in name and organization while playing active roles in various conflicts, including the Boer War and World War I.

This historic unit has matured into an important part of the community, reflecting the commitment of its members through their motto, "Pro Rege et Patria - For King and Country." With a dedicated association, the Royal Westminster Regiment preserves its legacy while engaging with historical and modern military traditions.
