31 Service Battalion has a company based in Hamilton at the HMCS Star location on Catherine St N, if I'm not mistaken.  Phone: (519)-660-5275, which is actually in London at Wolseley Barracks.

Yeah, I get that. 

My reply was based on this:

James St. Armories are actually downtown, but I'm from Hamilton and didn't expect you to know that.  The reserve unit near the water is the Service Btn.  ;) 

The RHLIs, ASH of C, and a Sigs Sqn are at James St.
 
Occam...you mean 23 Svc. Bn.

A know a few of them. They actually do a lot of their training out of JFA, but you are correct, their actual HQ is on Catherine St. Same as HMCS Star.

Ooops...someone hasn't updated the DND internet site - http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/31cbg_hq/units-unites/index-eng.asp refers to a 31 Svc Bn.

However, the 2 ASG website on the DWAN refers to 23 Svc Bn, which is comprised of 23 Fd Amb, 705 (Hamilton) Comm Sqn, 2 Int Pl and 31 MP Pl...and even that doesn't look like it's been updated lately.

Whats that? ........outdated and incomplete info?.........never!! :sarcasm:
 
23 Svc Bn Hamilton, 21 Svc Bn in Windsor have been amalgamated with 22 Svc Bn in London all of which are part of 31 Bde , hence the new name 31 Svc Bn. Each city has a Coy sized element with the Bn HQ in London. This happened a couple of years ago.

Seen. My apologies, as some of us still refer to it as 23, same as the Field Ambulance.
