38 Signals Regiment, a communications unit of the Canadian Army Reserves, was authorized by Ministerial Order dated 26 July 2011[1], the result of amalgamating 734 Communication Squadron, 735 Communication Regiment, 736 Communication Squadron and 737 Communication Squadron. In 2012, again by Ministerial Order[2], the unit name was corrected to 38 Signal Regiment, the correct styling of the unit name (Signal vs Signals).

38 Signal Regiment supports 38 Canadian Brigade Group. Headquartered in Winnipeg Manitoba, 38 Signal Regiment has four squadrons:

1 Signal Squadron – Winnipeg, MB
2 Signal Squadron – Regina, SK
3 Signal Squadron – Thunder Bay, ON
4 Signal Squadron – Saskatoon, SK

On May 23, 2020, 38 Canadian Brigade Group Commander Colonel Gwen Bourque served as a reviewing officer from all the way in Saskatchewan as Lieutenant-Colonel Jackie Janzen handed over command of 38 Signal Regiment to newly promoted Lieutenant-Colonel Evelyn Kotzer. The virtual ceremony was held at Minto Armoury with the incoming commander's family in attendance.
