UPDATE: Over three years later and they still have not received the monument tank at Spruce Meadows... with the death of Spruce Meadows founder and patriarch Ron Southern and the passing of esteemed riding master Albert Kley...it seems the regiment has had little enthusiasm for keeping their promises.
Original Calgary Herald Article:

"Praising the Southerns for running Spruce Meadows with both “military precision” and a focus on friendliness, Cameron Ross, major-general (retired) of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse regiment gifted the family with a decommissioned tank, for use as a monument to commemorate the special relationship Spruce Meadows has had with his regiment.

He also surprised them with the announcement that an active-duty Leopard 2 tank will be named Southern; as well, the new Mr. Ron Southern Award, he said, will annually honour the top rider of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse Mounted Troop."

FURTHER UPDATE: Sounds like the Regiment has done their best to fulfill their promises but has been stymied by red tape over end use and the final say of the German government, I stand corrected and apologize for jumping to other conclusions.
