One more update...
I scrolled further down in the notes (originally compiled by my sister in the spring of 2018) and found that the 6 Oct 1949 edition of the Barrie Examiner had two images of the unveiling. See this link: (the device that I am using is not allowing me to save the images)

While the image quality is poor, can we detect the tail of an M5A1 behind Gen. Sir Richard McCreery GCB, KBE, DSO, MC?
Also note the base of the saluting Dais. I have reason to believe that this M4A2 (76)HVSS was also made into a monument very early after its arrival in Canada. I’ll elaborate in a future post.
