The Grey and Simcoe Foresters is a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Forces. Within the Canadian Army, it is part of the 4th Canadian Division's (formerly known as Land Force Central Area) 31 Canadian Brigade Group. Due to the restructuring of the British Army, The Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment was amalgamated into The Mercian Regiment, as its 2nd Battalion (Worcesters and Foresters), leaving The Grey and Simcoe Foresters as the only remaining unit in the Commonwealth of Nations known to be distinctly designated as a regiment of Foresters. (en) The Grey and Simcoe Foresters, littéralement « Les Forestiers de Grey et de Simcoe », sont un régiment d'infanterie de la Première réserve de l'Armée canadienne. Ayant été fondé en 1866, il s'agit de l'un des plus anciens régiments des Forces armées canadiennes. De plus, The Grey and Simcoe Foresters sont le dernier régiment du Commonwealth a toujours porter le titre de « forestiers ». Le régiment fait partie du 31e Groupe-brigade du Canada au sein de la 4e Division du Canada. Son quartier général est basé à Owen Sound et il comprend aussi des détachements à Barrie en Ontario. Le régiment tire ses origines de deux bataillons d'infanterie créés en 1866, le 31st "Grey Battalion of Infantry" (le « 31e "Bataillon d'infanterie de Grey" ») et le 35th "Simcoe Battalion of Infantry" (le « 35e Bataillon d'infanterie de Simcoe »), qui fusionnèrent en 1936 pour former The Grey and Simcoe Foresters. Ces derniers ont été convertis en une unité d'artillerie en 1946 en devenant le 45th Anti-Tank Regiment (Grey and Simcoe Foresters), RCA (le « 45e Régiment anti-char (Forestiers de Grey et de Simcoe), ARC »). La même année, le 55th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, RCA (« 55e Régiment anti-aérien, ARC »). Ces deux derniers fusionnèrent en 1954 et la nouvelle unité fut convertie en une unité blindée nommée « The Grey and Simcoe Foresters (28th Armoured Regiment) » (« Les Forestiers de Grey et de Simcoe (28e Régiment blindé) »). Le régiment redevint une unité d'infanterie en 1970 et reprit son nom actuel. En plus de l'histoire de sa propre lignée, le régiment perpétue l'héritage de quatre bataillons du Corps expéditionnaire canadien (CEC) de la Première Guerre mondiale, les 147e, 157e, 177e et 248e Bataillon "outre-mer", CEC.
