Default Looking to ID this title...RCSA (AA)

'presuming' this is Canadian Artilllery as the source was from an Artillery veterans estate but haven't seen this before... and again thinking the AA to be Anti Aircraft...??
Identification appreciated.
Cheers

Royal Canadian School of Artillery.

1946 - 1960

"After the departure of the maintenance unit, most of the base was taken over by the Army for use as the Royal Canadian School of Artillery (Anti-Aircraft) (RCSA(A.A.))."

"The 1st Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment RCA was formed in October 1953. It consisted of a HQ and the 2nd and 3rd LAA Batteries, and it was located with the RCSA (Anti-Aircraft) at Picton, Ontario. "

"With the closure of the 1st LAA Regiment and The RCAS (AA) in Picton in 1960, the only remaining school of artillery was at Shilo."
