From there he went to The Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) and ended his career with the Civil Engineers. Throughout his military career, he served four peacekeeping tours and a deployment to Germany. Following his military career, he also worked at Dalhousie University for 15 years.
Wally was a member of the Mason’s. He loved archery and communicating by CB radio. He also had various interests from historic events to meteorology.
