I'm in the process of gathering material for a Steel Panthers: Main Battle Tank campaign involving a Canadian "peacekeeping" deployment to Darfur/Sudan which of course, gets out of hand when the militas try attacking a food distribution point guarded by Canadian troops, and it escalates into a general "let's mash them all" free for all with the Canadians doing the stomping.
Anyway, I have Isby's "Armies of NATO's Central Front" which details the Canadian Army as it was in 1985. It goes into some detail on how the Canadian contigent in NATO was organized, but I'm sure there have been a lot of changes in TOEs and OOBs since the book was published 21 years ago.
I've talked to a friend of mine who was in the Canadian Army about what the CA would send there, and he suggested:
While this is a good baseline, I don't know how the battalions and Squadrons are explictly laid out.

But basically what would get sent to Darfur would be an Mech Infantry Battlegroup consisting of 1 infantry battalion with LAVs plus an engineer squadron, supply battalion, 2 squadrons of Coyotes (1 Fire Support, 1 recce with Radar/thermal camera survallance package), A field Ambulance unit, Sigs Squadron, Arty Company (if lucky Wink ) and maybe the 1 Canadian Field Hospital if it's not already in Afghanistan (I'm not sure). Failing that they may substitute the LAV infantry battalion for a light infantry battalion with trucks and BV-206s depending on the threat level in Darfur.
