History

It was first authorized on 15 March, 1924 when The Alberta Regiment was reorganized and split into 2 separate regiments, The North Alberta Regiment and The South Alberta Regiment (now part of the South Alberta Light Horse).[1] The Perpetuations of CEF Units granted to The Alberta Regiment were split among both new regiments.[2] It was headquartered at Killam, Alberta and had companies at Camrose, Killam, Hardisty and Sedgewick, Alberta.[1]

On 1 February, 1936, The North Alberta Regiment was disbanded along with 13 other regiments as part of the 1936 Canadian Militia Reorganization.[1] [3]
