Strathcona's At Horse Guards

[SeaKingTacco]

I sincerely doubt the entire regimental fund is spent on maintaining the Ceremonial Mounted Troop.

I doubt it, too.

 

[Blackadder1916]

I sincerely doubt the entire regimental fund is spent on maintaining the Ceremonial Mounted Troop.

Technically, none of the "regimental fund" is spent on maintaining the Ceremonial Mounted Troop. There is a separate foundation.
From the regimental manual.

ARTICLE 3504 - CEREMONIAL MOUNTED TROOP FOUNDATION
1. Through the efforts of many dedicated Strathconas and the generosity of its close friends, the
Regiment established the Ceremonial Mounted Troop Foundation on 26 November 1984. The Foundation
was registered as a Charitable Association under the Companies Act of Alberta. The Foundation is
operated as a separate entity from the Regimental Society. The Mounted Troop is funded in part through
public grants, private donations and honorariums for performances. The Department of National Defence
provides limited financial support. The annual interest from the Foundation investments helps to meet the
Troop’s yearly operating costs.
2. The objective of the Ceremonial Mounted Troop Foundation is:
“to act as a charity to benefit the community as a whole by preserving
and supporting the operation of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal
Canadians) Ceremonial Mounted Troop and thereby making it available
to Western Canadian communities and providing colour and fostering
interest in and respect for our national heritage.
