In delivering the sentence, Ontario Court Justice Robert Wadden said Hurren was given one year of credit for time spent in custody, meaning he still faces five years in prison.
The 5,000-strong force is made up of volunteers from remote northern and Indigenous communities who act the military’s eyes and ears in the sparsely populated northern and coastal areas of Canada.
Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) officials said Hurren held the rank of master corporal at the time of the incident.
