City of Timmins Reaffirms Freedom of the City to The Algonquin Regiment

The City of Timmins is proud to reaffirm the Freedom of the City to The Algonquin Regiment, recognizing the unit’s 125 years of service, sacrifice, and connection to the people of Northern Ontario.

Freedom of the City is one of the most esteemed honours a municipality can bestow upon a military unit. Rooted in a centuries-old tradition, it symbolizes deep trust and respect. In medieval times, fortified cities only granted military units entry when absolute confidence existed in their intentions. Today, this ceremonial privilege grants a regiment the right to march through the city “with drums beating, colours flying, and bayonets fixed.”

First granted to The Algonquin Regiment by the City of Timmins in 1977, this reaffirmation celebrates the regiment’s legacy as Northern Ontario’s oldest Army Reserve infantry regiment and its enduring role as protector, partner, and community member.

Quotes:

“For 125 years, The Algonquin Regiment has served with distinction. Their roots in our region run deep, and their contributions—both at home and abroad—have earned them the respect and gratitude of our community. We are honoured to reaffirm the Freedom of the City in recognition of their long history and continued service.”
- Mayor Michelle Boileau, City of Timmins

“The Freedom of the City is a proud tradition that reflects the enduring relationship between the Algonquin Regiment and the people of Timmins. This ceremony is a symbol of mutual respect and shared history, and we are honoured to continue that legacy alongside the community we serve.”
- Lieutenant Colonel Kirk Langdon, Commanding Officer, The Algonquin Regiment
