Here is a beautiful, over 50 year old film made by the National Film Board of Canada featuring some of the top performing gliders of the day (Std. Austria SH-1, Sisu and HP-11).

Any idea which Sisu went to Canada and then came back?

I don’t know the serial number but the Canadian registration was CF-RNH and the pilot was Gord Hicks of the Montreal Soaring Council. The other pilots were Dave Webb in the HP-11 and Mike Stoten in the Austria. All were members of the Montreal Soaring Council at Hawkesbury, Ontario, near where the shots featuring those three gliders were taken. The other HP-11 was flown by George Redzich from Edmonton, Alberta and those shots were taken either near Banff or Lake Louise, Alberta.
