I will take a stab at it. I think it was awarded to those brave individuals that after 10 years of service , were still brave enough show up at the mess hall at meal time.
 I have never seen any thing like that before Bill. It is a real nice looking badge. wish I had one Len

Oo! Oo! Me teacher, me!!!
Good day Bill,
Depends on the size. If it is 28 mm wide by 30 mm high, then it's the present day badge signifying that someone is on staff of the Royal Canadian School of Infantry in Gagetown. If it is larger than those dimensions, then it signifies the same, only from Pre-Unification , when the School was located (I believe) in Borden. Ian

Ian has it, but I think this is a much earlier example, dating to the 1950's. They were for instructional cadre at the School of Infantry.
My example is 30 mm by 30 mm.

I have that badge as well. It came off of my fathers QOR's shoulder slip-on with regiment and ranks. Its placed just above the chevrons. He wore this in the sixty's while at Borden at the Combat Arms School.
