Or the moment they are asked to piss in a cup or fill out a security questionnaire…

Or told that no, they can't be a ninja sniper seal posted to Toronto.

The 54% of people withdrawing is something we need to address because in willing to bed a large amount of that is just due to time.

From my experience 50% in a major city simply going "no further contact" is pretty much par for the course. It was actually much worse when PRs were first allowed in but that is a different story. A lot of people I have met who talk about applying but not hearing back/took too long etc had files which indicate they struggled to complete their medicals or provide the necessary information for their security screening. Like anyone I have my issues with CFRC but a lot of people arent willing to commit to the process to join.

My former police service (well, actually the government ministry that does these things), gutting a 1920s building to 'maintain the aesthetic'. It does look nice but they figured it cost about twice as much as had they simply torn the original building down. The community collage right next door build a couple of dorms in a style that reflected the old buildings. They look surprisingly the same.

Many of the RHUs I have seen on a few bases look to be Cold War-era 1 1/2 storey rectangular boxes. If the thought was to go engineered and plop a new house on the existing foundation, It would probably have to be a custom design since I doubt any builder of engineered homes makes something that would fit that footprint. There might be some savings if the design was repeatable enough. Are most of these places slab-on-grade or do they have basements, or perhaps 'it depends'?

They had no problem with using the old Calgary and Edmonton PMQs , on old and new foundations, and upgrades to sell for Hundreds of Thousands of $.
