6 Engineer Squadron
6 Engineer Squadron is a reserve unit of the Canadian Armed Forces that was formed in North Vancouver in 1912. In fact the unit's first soldiers were sworn-in at North Vancouver City Hall.

Since 1912 our soldiers have served in two World Wars and on UN and NATO missions in Germany, Cyprus, Golan Heights, Egypt, Syria, Israel, former Yugoslavia and Afghanistan.

Locally, in time of need, our soldiers have bridged the Capilano River and Lynn Creek, have rescued stranded motorists in the Fraser Valley and have fought forest fires.

In the past individual unit members served at every major WW 1 battle. In WW 2 our unit landed on the Normandy beaches on D Day.

Many notable individuals have served with our unit and have made significant contributions. A few of them are:
