Point Frederick Painting

The Toronto Branch commissioned a painting of Kingston's Point Frederick, as it looked in 1814 as a donation to RMC.

The painting was done by noted Canadian artist Peter Rindlisbacher.

It was donated to RMC to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the College.

Publication

Warriors & Warships

Toronto Branch member Bob Banks has written a book on the history of Kingston's Point Frederick, prior to the establishment of RMC.

This book, Warriors and Warships: Conflict on the Great Lakes and the Legacy of Point Frederick, is a well-researched look at the history surrounding the site that became the home of RMC Kingston.

Proceeds from the sale of Warriors and Warships are donated to the RMC Alumni Association's TDV Fund.

About the Toronto Branch

The Royal Military Colleges Club of Canada, founded in 1884, provides a continuing point of contact for former students of the Royal Military College (RMC), Kingston, the Royal Military College St. Jean, the former Royal Roads Military College (RRMC), Victoria, and certain predecessor institutions.

The Club provides services for its members, support for the Cadets of the Canadian Military Colleges and general support for all current and former Canadian Military Colleges.

The Toronto Branch of the RMC Club has been in continuous operation since it was founded in the early 1900s. The Branch, while legally independent of the Club, supports the objectives of the RMC Club for members living in and around the Greater Toronto Area.
