Canadian Army holding weekend training in Prince Edward County

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:13:59 GMT

Members of the Canadian Armed Forces will be in Prince Edward County this weekend for training exercises. The infantry training exercises will be held in an area of low density to avoid disruptions to the public as much as possible, taking place near the Mountain View Airfield in Ameliasburgh, right in the middle of rural farm land properties per an official Land Use Agreement. Between the relatively remote location and the limitations like use of blank rounds and lack of pyrotechnics, there isn’t expected to be much public disruption throughout the weekend. For using live rounds and pyrotechnics training will take place in Petawawa, but staying local allows the group to squeeze out a few extra hours of training on each day in lieu of travel time. The training will be made up of roughly 75 Canadian Army Reservists, accounting for about a third of the reservists in the area with a few people coming from the Ontario Regiment in Oshawa to participate. Captain Rob Cybulskie said t...
