A23 T.C. (Cadre) Halifax, NS ??

Sorting through WW2 records today... I came across that a soldier was TOS with "A23 T.C. (Cadre)" in Halifax, NS... anyone have any clues what this unit was? He was only on strength for about 20 days.

So 'Cadre' appears to be code for Coastal and Anti-Aircraft Artillery...?

No, 'Cadre' means that the soldier in question was 'on staff' or on the 'permanent establishment' of the training centre and not under going training.
