Canadian Rangers are seen here conducting search and rescue training near Moose Factory, a community in Northern Ontario, in 2017.Problems facing the Rangers have been long-standing, but little has been done, army officers acknowledge privately. “What we have seen in our review of the Canadian Rangers is that the policies that serve us well in downtown Ottawa may not serve us well in the northern and remote locations that are served by these members,” Walbourne told MPs. “Try issuing a cheque to a Canadian Ranger in a community where there is no bank at all or to fill out a form online where the closest Wi-Fi hotspot is a thousand kilometres away. That Ranger, by the way, may not speak, read or write in either English or French.
Canadian Forces spokesperson Maj. Sandra Lévesque said Rangers were entitled to compensation if their personnel gear went missing or was damaged during approved military activities. Regular depreciation of personal equipment is not covered.
