The Canadian Militia received the MK. I Long Lee Enfield rifle in 1896. They used this rifle in the Boer War 1899 to 1902. They used the MK.III & MK.III* in World War I as well as the No.4 Lee Enfield in World War II, the Korean War, and into the late 1950s. The No.4 rifle is still used for drill and was used for range shooting by the [[Royal Canadian Army Cadets]], [[Royal Canadian Sea Cadets]] and the [[Royal Canadian Air Cadets]]. Most units are stripped of the mechanism that fires the round but at many Cadet Training Centres the rifles are in full working order, the rifle is used at the Vernon Summer Training Center for Feu du joix. The No.4 was being phased out by the [[Canadian Rangers]] as a service rifle starting in 2016.
