And I though only Rodeo's had Buckle bunny's T-shirt bunny's.

The Roz in Edmonton was full of them.

As I recall events, the regiment was pretty well stuck in Petawawa except for exercises during the period in question.  . . . . .

Seen, but even exercises (and other usually normal activities) can take a serious toll on soldiers.  January 1989 was particularly harsh for the CAR (and other units that lost members) due to losses in the Herc crash in Alaska and the five soldiers who died in a traffic accident a week earlier.  The opening post of this thread has more details.

Yes, I remember those incidents, and they were tragedies. It reinforces the point, though, that the regiment was not deployed overseas.

Also had the grenade incident on the ranges simultaneous with these others.  It was a harsh time just prior to our deploying on UNTAG.  Many funeral parades.

The grenade incident happened in March 1989, in the Petawawa trg are; Para Riverin was killed in that incident.
