It could be for the 6th Regiment (The Duke of Connaught't Own Rifles) which became the the BC Regiment.
As for the period of use someone on the Forum may have the answer.

Though I have not seen it reflected in any of the references I believe that most collectors believe this to be the 6th Duke of Connaught's Own Infantry Draft Shoulder Badge, CEF. A Scarcer item, to a very small unit.
