That sucks, I may be forced to release. 3 hours is too long of a drive to and from work for me is just not worth the risk of me falling asleep at the wheel.
Find the Unit in Edmonton you want to transfer to. Explain your situation and agree to go on the Major exercises. This way you can still stay current, not have to get out and not have to drive 6 hrs every week for work.
As you are apparently a signaller, my suggestion would be for you to talk to the comms types......

They would have a vested interest in retaining their "investment" in you.
They may (or not) have a detachment in your neck of the woods OR know if someone else does.... won't hurt to ask - I guess.

Yeah, that wouldn't work in LFCA.... new policy to place people on NES is that you need to attend 50% of all training days in a month. Dunno if that's Army reserve wide or just LFCA being LFCA.
I am going to say if this individual has the training already and is willing to show up for major Exercises because of where they live they will be allowed to. As long as they hold up their end of the deal.
There are always exceptions to the rule and this may just be one.
Or they can say no and loose a valuable asset alltogether. (not a wise choice)
The CO of whatever unit you serve with would love to have you come at least once a month, as this has a dramatic implication on the budget he recieves to operate the unit. As others have suggested talk to the leadership on the floor and I am sure you can make arrangements that will satisfy everyone.
