I retired a few years ago as well. I actually applied at the recruiting office in Edmonton which is right close to Leduc or am I wrong? Plenty of options for different careers in the various elements, sea, land, air. Some excellent training in various fields of expertise as well.
I saw many changes in all aspects of the military during my career. I haven't been keeping abreast of things since I took my release, but I reckon things haven't changed that much at the recruiting office. They will likely give you an aptitude test of some kind and try to steer you towards a trade/element that is in need of personnel. Try not to get sidetracked that way if you already have something in mind. I knew the trade I wanted when I went there, but according to the recruiter, I was more suited to something else. He said there would be a waiting period for my preferred trade and if I took what they deemed was my aptitude, I could head out for basic training almost immediately. I'm glad I stuck to my guns and waited. It only took a month to get the trade I was interested in.
