The St. Thomas Armoury, home of the Elgin Regiment, underwent some window facelifts over the past year, and also saw the installation of two handsome wooden casings for the regimental guidon and that of the Kangaroos. The cabinets were created by local craftsman, Nick Dale, with assistance from Regiment Association President, Wayne Dale, support from Kanter Yachts, and solid cherry from the Lanning Farm on Dexter Line.
