The 48th Highlanders of Canada is a Canadian Forces Primary Reserve infantry regiment based in Toronto, Ontario, parading out of Moss Park Armoury.

The battalion was then disbanded on 29 November 1918.During World War II, the regiment mobilized the 48th Highlanders of Canada, CASF, on 1 September 1939.

It departed Canada for Britain on 16 December 1939, and on 13 June 1940, it went to France as part of the abortive Second British Expeditionary Force.

In March 1945, the regiment moved with the remainder of the I Canadian Corps to North-West Europe, where it fought until the end of the war.

Since its inception, the men and women of the regiment have been among the first Canadians to step forward and answer their nation's call.

The relationship with the Gordon Highlanders represents the oldest officially sanctioned regimental alliance in the Commonwealth, and small unit exchanges are conducted frequently.

The regiment's colonel-in-chief was Queen Elizabeth II until 8 September 2022, with her death.The regiment's Military Band and the Pipes and Drums have played at every Toronto Maple Leafs home opening game at both Maple Leaf Gardens and the Air Canada Centre.

The bands were requested by Conn Smythe, who had been a major in the First World War, to play at the opening of the new Maple Leaf Gardens on 12 November 1931.

The brigade was being inspected by King George VI but there were not enough regulation khaki puttees (leg wrappings) for all the soldiers.

The mission of the Museum is to collect, preserve, research and photograph material relating to the history of the 48th Highlanders of Canada, its former members and its site, and, through the appropriate display of such items, to convey this history to the currently serving members, the broader Canadian Forces community and the public.
