The Algonquin Regiment evolved from the Northern Pioneers formed after the First World War from a number of northern Ontario military units. When The Algonquin Regiment was mobilized for active service on July 22, 1940, its purpose was to assist in the defeat of Adolph Hitler's Nazi Germany and its Allies. 130 men from the Parry Sound area flocked to join A Company of the Algonquins at local recruiting centers.
