One-on-One Information Sessions

Unlike other units that treat recruits like a number, we treat you like family … and we do this through one-on-one information sessions between a unit recruiter and a potential applicant. In fact, our recruiter will work with you throughout the application process so that you don't have any issues.

We find that this one-on-one approach is very effective, as this allows us to answer all of your questions and to provide dedicated career counseling and assistance throughout the application process.

To schedule a one-on-one session, please call 905.972.4000 ext. 4168.

Open Houses

The Argylls hold open houses on Wednesday nights. Please call 905.972.4000 ext. 4168 to book your spot at an open house.

At this session, you will receive basic information about the unit, an application package, and be taken for a tour of the armoury to see our soldiers in training. Our staff will also be available to answer any questions you may have.

All Open Houses are held at The Argyll Recruiting Office, located at the John Foote Armoury in Hamilton.
