near the entrance to the college grounds at the gates on stone wall between Fort LaSalle and Fort Sauvé, near the north end of Point Frederick Drive.  (Plaque was missing at time of writing).

You will have to show ID at a guard post before entering RMC.  

You can drive to all the sites on the campus but it is probably better to park in thelot on the left after passing by the guard house and walk the campus.

Commemoration

Following the withdrawal of British forces from Canad in 1870-71, the federal government recognized the need for an officer training college in Canada.  In 1874, during the administration of the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie, enabling legislation was passed.  Located on Point Frederick, the site of the formal Royal Navy Dockyard, the new college opened on June 1, 1870, with 18 cadets under Lt.-Col. Edward O. Hewett, R. E.  Named the Royal Military College of Canada in 1878, it offered academic and military training courses designed to prepare cadets for both military and civil careers.  The college was reorganized in 1948 as a tai-service institution and, in 1959, it became the first military college in the British Commonwealth to achieve degree-granting status.

Background

The institution was granted the “Royal” title by Queen Victoria in 1878.  The first known first-aid class was taught here in 1883. The museum is well worth a visit, even if it is just to see the inside of a Martello tower.
