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.
