A base-wide emergency exercise simulating response to a natural disaster is scheduled at 17 Wing on Thursday.
The exercise at the site, at Canadian Forces Base Winnipeg, will run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
“During this time, residents near the base may notice increased activity, including military and civilian emergency vehicles entering and leaving through the Wihuri Road gate, as well as military personnel with simulated injuries participating in the exercise,” a Wednesday news release stated.
“This planned training event is part of ongoing efforts to maintain the readiness and co-ordination of base personnel and local emergency response partners.”
