Col. Leif Dahl was arrested following an Aug. 25 incident on the Murray Canal in Quinte West, Ont., where provincial police say they received a report of a gun being fired at 'protected wildlife' from aboard a boat.
Col. Leif Dahl, commander of 8 Wing and CFB Trenton, has been temporarily removed from his role after he was charged by the OPP with firearm-related offences in connection with what the Department of National Defence described as a "hunting-related incident" on Aug. 25, 2023.
Police said during their investigation they learned a firearm had been thrown into the water. A gun was later located by the OPP's underwater search and recovery unit. A spokesperson for the Department of National Defence confirmed by email that the Royal Canadian Air Force was aware of a "hunting-related incident" on Aug. 25 involving Col. Dahl.
