I've seen one or two trailers of them at a truck stop in Chilliwack and yes indeed they are going to a scrapper in Victoria that won the bid to scrap them....

There are a few available to regiments as monuments...the Westies are to recieve two TOW M113s. A couple of the engineering variants are also parked at the ASU, probably waiting deactivation before placement at the CME armouries. I have noticed about 12 M113s, mostly standard configuration, but also a couple TOWs, headed west on semis on the #1 through Hope and Chilliwack.
Who is the scrapper in Victoria? What are the chances that hulls, tracks, or engines might become available?

The location of the scrapper is given as: "A scrap dealer on the Island has the contract to scrap them. Go north on Burnside, right on Prospect Lake Rd, and left on Munn Road. It's about a mile down on the right side." A google check shows this likely to be Williams scrap iron and metals.
Hard to say if the scrapper is allowed to sell parts or not. It will likely be in his contract that the parts are controlled and must be either sold to persons with DCG approval or else mutilated beyond use.

Update
Hello group.
From what I was told someone that followed one of the semi's to the scrap yard was told they are not allowed to sell any parts. That scrap yard must have been very agresive in their bid. Dan Canadian Military Education Centre and Museum www.cmedcentre.ca

I was told that some are headed to Work Point as part of the Peace Keeper training school.
Some things are happening in the background, but you can rest assured that these will not reach private hands. I've seen 25 of them board the boat, heading to the Island. Somewhere on my cell phone, I have a couple of bad pics of the carriers waiting for a boat trip... All of the carriers that I have seen no longer sport Canada plates, and have ink pen markings on them, so melt down would be the likely conclusion. BTW, Right now all available DND contract haulers are heading to the Mid West, with the vehicles of 39 Brigade. I'll see if I can get some pics ... that's if they get released to me!

Yes sadly My nephew works at Columbia Remtec in Surrey and the truck with two of them stopped there to drop off aluminun Stock for their shop. Those are the ones heading to the Island to be scrapped as the truck driver said. they were driven on the truck flat low bed. Nephew has pics in his phone of them and they were out of Quebec...Yes the last two were pristine and had recent camo colours!
Thanks Mister Harper!
