I can't help much, other than a web search revealed that the Suffield Station, Alberta post office was open from 1910 to 1923.

I was going to suggest the same thing that wert did, the first thing that came to my mind was CFB Suffield.

Thank you for your comments.
See below for CFB Suffield

Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Suffield is located approximately 50km northwest of Medicine Hat. The Base spans over 2690 square kilometres and is one of the largest live fire training areas in the western world. The Base was established in 1941 when there was a need for a British/ Canadian experimental station for trials of biological and chemical defence. Authorities considered sites in different parts of Canada and eventually decided on Suffield, Alberta.
Suffield the Village (where I live) is aprox 3 Miles from the Base.
