## 78th Fraser Highlanders Association of Vancouver  
The **78th Fraser Highlanders Association of Vancouver** is a Canadian nonprofit organization registered under Business Number **831439922RR0001**, dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of the **78th Fraser Highlanders**, a British infantry regiment active during the Seven Years' War (1756–1763). The association promotes public education about the regiment's role in North American colonial history, particularly its campaigns in Halifax, Louisbourg, Quebec, and Montreal[1][5].  

### Historical Focus  
The original **78th (Highland) Regiment of Foot**, raised in 1757 by Simon Fraser of Lovat, fought in pivotal battles such as the **Siege of Louisbourg** (1758) and the **Battle of the Plains of Abraham** (1759), where it executed the last documented successful Highland Charge[1][3]. Following its disbandment in 1763, many veterans settled in Canada, later contributing to the defense of British North America during the American Revolution as part of the **84th Royal Highland Emigrants**[1][5].  

### Activities  
The association engages in historical reenactments, educational programs, and public demonstrations of 18th-century military drills, including musketry and bagpipe performances, to illustrate the regiment's tactics and cultural legacy[4][5]. It emphasizes the **78th Fraser Highlanders**' influence on early Canadian military history and the settlement of Scottish Highlanders in Quebec and Nova Scotia[1][2].  

### Organizational Goals  
As a heritage group, it collaborates with historians, clan societies, and cultural organizations to commemorate the regiment's contributions, ensuring its story remains accessible to modern audiences[2][5].
