Narrative:

After takeoff from ZZZ; we got a right thrust reverser unlocked caution message and felt a slight buffet. We completed all normal and QRH checklists and coordination a return to ZZZ airport with ATC. We briefed the flight attendant and the passenger. The captain spoke directly to the passenger to describe the need to shut down 1 engine; that this was simply a precaution and that the landing would be quite normal. I also told them to expect to see fire trucks after landing; but that this; too; was just a precaution. The tone was positive and concise. The QRH procedure led us to secure the right engine. We completed all checklists and coordination with dispatch. We also coordination our return with ZZZ operations. During the visual approach we got a momentary TCAS RA due to the proximity of parallel landing traffic. We had excellent visual contact with the traffic; both of us being stabilized. No evasive maneuver was required or appropriate. The landing and taxi in were uneventful. The passenger were quite upbeat on deplaning. After contract maintenance inspected and deferred the right thrust reverser; we completed the revenue flight with no further anomaly. Note: this was my first actual shutdown of an engine in-flight in the CL65. Both my first officer and I found the loud beeping of the low oil pressure warning to be extremely distracting. This is one of the few alerts that is not cancelable (without disabling the entire audio alert system). It continued; even with the aircraft parked at the gate -- until power off! Possible design change? My first officer and flight attendant did an exceptional job of managing the situation. Once again; CRM pays off!
