2nd York

Who We Are

2nd York (2nd Regiment of York Militia, also known as Thompson's Company), is a group of living history enthusiasts who, through research and living history, recreate the lives of soldiers and civilians of historic Mississauga during the War of 1812. 2nd York was a militia company that served in multiple battles and in other capacities. 

 

Our reenactment company was formed in 2013 to honour the contributions of volunteer militiamen and civilians from historic Mississauga (then known as Toronto Township). Many of them were present at and participated in several battles in the War of 1812 along the Niagara frontier, including at Fort Detroit, Fort Erie, Fort George, Fort York, Lundy’s Lane, Queenston Heights, St. David’s and Stoney Creek.

 

2nd York functions, in part, as an educational and living history subcommittee of Heritage Mississauga. 2nd York participates both in local community events and in reenactments across Southern Ontario.​
