Westmount, Quebec – 08 June 2019: The RMR took all three of the top spots on the recent 34 Brigade Basic Military Qualification (BMQ). Admittedly the odds were stacked comfortably in the regiment’s favour, with all eight of the instructors and 31 of the candidates being from the RMR – talk about a commitment to recruiting & training!

Not to rest on their laurels for overall accomplishment, the top rifle shots on the course were also from the RMR: Privates Macdonald, Hipson, and Maqruis shared the honour of earning their names on the Bouchard Trophy.
