History

The formation was established as 2 Area Support Group on 4 February 1999 with its headquarters in Toronto, Ontario. The headquarters was relocated to Garrison Petawawa from Toronto on 28 September 2006. In July 2013, the formation was renamed as 4th Canadian Division Support Group coinciding with an Army-wide reorganization of garrison forces and with the renaming of Land Forces Central Area to 4th Canadian Division.
