The Lake Superior Regiment originated 3 July 1905 in Port Arthur, Ontario when a "regiment of infantry" was authorized to be formed. Then designated 1 December 1905 as the 96th The Lake Superior Regiment. Redesignated 12 March 1920 as The Lake Superior Regiment. This pattern was used up until the regiment was renamed in 1949 to Lake Superior Scottish Regiment.
On 26 and 27 July 1944, it landed in France as part of the 4th Armoured Brigade, 4th Canadian Armoured Division, and it continued to fight in North West Europe until the end of the war.
