OTTAWA – The military is permanently removing Col. Leif Dahl from his post as commander of Canadian Forces Base Trenton a month after he was charged with weapons offences.

Ontario Provincial Police say they charged Dahl on Aug. 25 after he was seen shooting at protected wildlife from a boat in Quinte West, Ont.

Police allege Dahl threw two firearms into the canal, which their dive team recovered, and they have charged him with obstructing police.
