Thanks gentlemen. The Brockville Rifles were at one point during the war, a training establishment for officer candidates. I believe you have hit the nail on the head with the id as some sort of patch for officer candidates. If the patching was consistent with other such establishments, they were likely white. This is an undocumented patch to date.
Summer in Canada can be extremely hot, and various orders of dress were authorized for wear during that season. Shirts and shorts was one of these.
David, there were no Military District patches during the Second World War. There were a set of badges for "Commands" after the war, and into the 60's. They included Central Command, Prairie Command, Western Command, Quebec Command, Eastern Command, 1st Cdn Division, NDHQ, AHQ, Canadian Base Units Europe. These had unique designs, but the formation signs were only used on vehicles and not produced as formation patches.
