The VanDoos don't wear the Wolseley Helmet, they wear a Guard's pattern bearskin cap - but with their cap badge centred on the front in the manner of a Fusilier's busbie (which makes sense as they are allied with a Fusilier Regiment).
The Wolseley helmet (broad-brimmed pith helmet) is the default full dress headdress for all Canadian infantry Regiments, and many of the Corps, that do not have another style of approved helmet. Therefore it is worn by the PPCLI and the RCR as well as by a number of Militia Infantry regiments. Regiments are identified by their cap badge centred on the front of the helmet as well as by the colour(s) of the puggarree.
