The FGH still exists as a reserve unit out of Winnipeg. I joined the unit when I was 16 years old, and completed 3 years of service with it before going regular force.
Not far from the armoury, was a local beer vendor who was in Holland at the time of liberation. He would tell of the FGH using it's trucks to move food around for the civilian population. Best of all, if you went in there wearing your combats and beret, he would never ask you for ID.
