I was with the FGH, and it was the same deal. We had M38A1 jeeps for the fighting troops, and 3 or 4 M151A2s for the officers. However, our supporting unit, the LDSH,did occasionally loan armour to the unit for familiarization training. I recall seeing a pair of ferrets in the compound around 1977, and after I left the unit to join the regular force, the LDSH sent a Lynx out in the early 80s.
I recovered a ferret off the target ranges of Shilo that, underneath the first layer of paint, had SaskD markings, so it looks like they also got loans of armour from the LDSH.
