I was supposed to hear back from them by June 16th to take my CFAT, interview and medical sometime between June 26th and 28th in Kelowna (remote recruiting).  Called them back, and something got in the way, postponed until some time in July.  :'( Could be interesting running through 2 or 3 feet of snow in winter, lol.
