Drum Major Pat Gibson & the Giant Highlander
Drum Major Pat Gibson, photographed on the balcony at Mewata Armouries in November 1985 by John Skrypnyk of the Calgary Herald. The giant Highlander has been a fixture at the armouries for over two decades. When a McLeod Bros. men's clothing store was being demolished to make way for the Centre for Performing Arts in downtown Calgary, the building's owner gave the sign to the Regiment. Drummer Chris Linford repainted the sign in regimental uniform.
