Histoire administrative
Formed on March 18th 1856, the Embro Highland Games was created with the intention of preserving the language, martial spirit, dress, music, literature, antiquities, and games of the ancient Caledonians. This society helped create and celebrate the Highland Games in Embro, Ontario, yet disbanded a decade after forming for reasons unknown in 1888.
It was not until the year 1937 when the society regained a new form as the Zorra Caledonian Society. During that same year, the Highland Games returned to Embro. The games are still being hosted annually to this day, with some of the events taking place including bagpipe music, Highland dancing, and athletic competitions like tug-of-war.
