On his Canadian Active Service Force Attestation Paper (Officer's Declaration Paper) dated 15 Jul 1940; para 12 asks the question "State unit in active militia in which you are serving or have served" it states "12th District Signals, RCCS" present rank 2nd Lieut.
I'm in the UK.
Many thanks

Hi Paul;
Yes, your father was a member of the Non-Permanent Active Militia of Canada at the time of his attestation into the Canadian Active Service Force on 18 July 1940 - being a Second Lieutenant on strength of No. 12 District Signals, R.C.C.S. - a unit of the Non-Permanent Active Militia of Canada, localized at that time at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, within Military District No. 12.
Cheers
