It's most likely a refurbished LAV III headed for Shilo or Edmonton.
Most of the LAV's that returned from TFA have been going through a mid life/post combat upgrade.

That is the nice thing about the trans-canada highway thru MB....there is no other way through. I see LAVs all the time, and just last weekend saw 2 Leopards heading West. All are in perfect paint jobs, which I also took as being re-furbed Kandahar returns.
I have a short contract right now at the base, where I am also seeing a few familiar CFR numbers on some of the LiftKing RTFLs that I used to look after in Kandahar, including the dreaded 017. Small army!

Not being all that up on current armour, I did a quick check on LAV's on the web and based on what I found, my ID of the vehicle in transit should probably be corrected to LAV III. What I assumed to be a roman numeral 'IV' must have simply been sloppy writing on the part of whoever chalked the LAV. Still wonder what the 'August Sale' was all about. Maybe whoever is doing the refit had a deal on for the Canadian military last month.

Hi Andrew.
Yes, same green wrap etc as the one I saw. The transporter I saw here had a higher deck with the rear wheels under it. Your spotting has a lot more chalking on it and a lot neater than the one here. Must be some sort of code. David

It is possible this is a vehicle that is sold by general dynamics to a country that uses the LAV III based vehicles. As it says on the side of the vehicle it is a "LAV UP" which is the newest model, bigger heavier and more technology
