Grace was arrested last year while a staff officer at the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre near Wainwright, Alta.

A military spokesman said at the time that the 45-year-old was being reassigned to the military’s Edmonton base.

Grace was also ordered to stand trial on charges of assault, uttering threats and pointing a firearm.

A trial date has yet to be set.
