瑞基威之役(英語:Battle of Ridgeway)於1866年6月2日爆發,當時一些芬尼亞兄弟會從美國出發至安大略省附近的瑞基威,與當地的加拿大士兵發生衝突。這亦是所謂的“芬尼安暴動”。最後很多芬尼安人不敵而降。

Other estimated the strength in the camp at 500 to 600. Clarke also reported that later in the night an additional 200 Fenians (from their position at Black Creek) joined the column from the camp, bringing the total to at least 700 to 800.
