Now I gotcha. Those vehicles were from the 1RCHA and are still in service. The 2nd Battalion of the Princess Patricia's had their freedom of the city parade (in soaking rain) minutes before the travellers day parade started. They marched down from city hall and led the parade. Behind the 240 marching soldiers were half a dozen or so LavIII, then us, then the two vehicles (and M777) from RCHA. Below are some shots of this component of the parade for those interested.
First photo is of the 2VP using an older but efficient form of transportation. I was attached to this Bn back in the late 80s. As always, their drill was pretty sharp.
The 2VP was followed by half a dozen or so LAVIII vehicles, which included dignitaries like the local mayor and the police chief, who were part of the Freedom of the City parade.
We were next on the parade, and behind us were the RCHA component of the parade. First vehicle was another LAVIII. In the RCHA they are used for forward observation officers (FOOs) as well as one for each Battery Commander and one for the CO.
Then came the HLVW (Steyr Percheron) pulling the M777. The HLVWs were purchased in 1989 and entered service in 1992. When I was still in they were generally doing a tremendous job and were very reliable, although it is my understanding that age is starting to catch up to them.
That pretty much sums up the regular force contributions to the parade.
