Canadian Armed Forces will be in Bruce and Huron Counties from May 3-5 conducting a Training Exercise

The Canadian Armed Forces will be in Bruce and Huron Counties from May 3-5 conducting a Training Exercise to simulate an extreme heat scenario. Troops assigned to Huron County will be stationed in Blyth, Wingham, Hensall, with activities branching out from those areas.  Members of the public will see the deployment of military personnel and vehicles to validate the ability to deploy and sustain in real time. This is being done to create a more challenging, realistic training exercise, and will see soldiers conducting fire training, wellness checks, simulated search and rescue operations, cooling center establishment, as well as other related activities.

All measures are being taken to ensure minimum inconvenience to those in the area. Members of the public are asked to take extra caution if approaching military vehicles and troops and are thanked in advance for their understanding and co-operation. 

As more information is received from the Public Affairs Officer, we will share it on our social media platforms and our Township website.
