RMC Memorial Arch

Built in 1923, the Royal Military College Memorial Arch stands as a reminder of those RMC students that have fallen in the battles and wars of Canada’s past. Located just across the La Salle Causeway, it is the first thing you see on your way to RMC. Each year cadets are marched through the arch in an opening ceremony. They will not march out until they graduate. There is a small gate to the right of the arch for people to pass through. Even civilians from Kingston respect the traditions of RMC by not passing through the arch.

Looking sharp, Sir Francis. Always love the updates.
