| 700 Communications Squadron was originally formed in November 1962 as a Filter Centre for the Militia Canadian Women Army Corps. The parent unit was 402 Ordinance Battalion. In 1966 the unit was transferred to the Grey and Simcoe Foresters. A year later it was transferred to the Queen's York Rangers as B Squadron. In 1969 the unit became a troop of the newly formed 709 Toronto Communication Regiment. In 1973 the first male recruit was enrolled in the unit. Finally, on 1 April 1974 700 Communications Squadron was officially formed. Its mandate was to provide augmentation to CFCC and LFC taskings. 700 and 706 Communication Squadrons were amalgamated on 29 October 1993. The new unit retained the 706 Communications Squadron title. |
