History: The Canadian Officers' Training Corps was established in Fredericton by a decree published in the General Orders dated 15 November, 1915.

Activities: The UNB Contingent supplied the Guard of Honour for the openings of the New Brunswick Provincial Legislature.

During the Second World War the role played by the C.O.T.C. grew significantly. In 1941, the college time-table was revised to provide more time for training and participation became compulsary for all male students registered at UNB. The University began to give credit for "Military Subjects" such as Signaling and Artillery.

The new Lady Beaverbrook Gymnasium benefitted the C.O.T.C., providing space for an Orderly Room, Quartermaster Store-Room, Arms Room, Rifle Range, and Drill Hall.
