Administrator | Nov 21, 2018 | Comments 0
Approximately 40 soldiers from 4th Canadian Division Reserve units in Ontario will be conducting a military training exercise in Prince Edward County Nov. 22 -25 and Nov. 30 – Dec. 02.
Members of the public may notice small teams of soldiers in uniform in the communities of Picton, Bloomfield and Wellington.
The soldiers will be taking part in a humanitarian assistance scenario that will involve role-players. One of their task will be to gather information about the area (infrastructure, demographics, etc.) in order to advise international organizations on the best course of action.
Of note, the soldiers will also be interacting with the general population on a voluntary basis, therefore members of the public who are interested in learning more about the exercise are invited and encouraged to engage with the soldiers.
