Movement of MLVWs can be one of several things. The new Mack (volvo/renault) trucks are starting to show up at the bases for the regular force, so it could be the MLVWs are heading to a federal prison for dismantling. Shilo sends theirs to Ontario...not sure if it is the same for Alberta. Otherwise it could be movements of vehicles after the militia summer concentrations, or just regular vehicle movement orders being fulfilled. The HLVW could also be one of the above, although they have been sold in the past rather than dismantled.
The new firetruck in Shilo is partly due to the new multistory (called apartments in the civilian world) PMQs. Not sure if it replaces an existing truck, but they only have parking for so many of them in the firehall. There is something about a Manitoba winter that precludes parking fire trucks outside.
