raised to become Canada's contribution to the NATO forces stationed in Europe. As part of that the 209th Fd battery was formed from members of 9 battery and conducting its initial training in Toronto before joining the 79th Fd Regt, which sailed along with rest of the Bde to Germany in December of that year. Subsequently, the 79th Fd Regt was renamed the 3rd Regt RCHA and 209th battery became G battery. 3 RCHA served in Korea from May to November 1954. The 7th Toronto Regiment RCA made its reappearance in 1965 when, as a result of the Suttie Commission the 29th Fd, 42nd Med and the 1st Loc Regts were transferred to the supplementary Order of Battle. 9th, 15th and 130th batteries from 29th Field Regiment were transferred to 7th Toronto Regiment, which moved into its present location in Moss Park Armoury following the demise of the University Avenue Armoury. 7th Toronto is currently the only Canadian Forces artillery Reserve regiment to maintain a howitzer battery alongside a dedicated dismounted mortar battery (the latter having the unofficial cognomen of "Lightfighter battery"). The third battery, 130, is a training battery, largely for troops who are as-yet unqualified to take positions related to their trade within the regiment. The 7th Toronto Regiment is affiliated to the 105 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps based in Streetsville. War in Afghanistan and other operational deployments Members of the regiment volunteered for service in Afghanistan throughout the entirety of the conflict. Utilized as gun-crew, recce/CP/OP technicians, or command staff, the regiment consistently demonstrated the eagerness of its members to be deployed in operational roles as often as they could alongside their regular-force counterparts. 7th Toronto Regiment was also able to send personnel to assist in humanitarian efforts in both the Philippines and Nepal during recent crises in those area. In addition to overseas deployments, the regiment has contributed proportionately large numbers of personnel to domestic operations. The most recent of these has been Op CADENCE in 2010 as part of the G8 and G20 Summits in Toronto, and Op PROVISION in accordance with the Canadian government's accommodation of Syrian refugees. As well as members sent on Op LASER, a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
