Town of Goderich Ontario Article : " Military Exercise 2024"
The Canadian Armed Forces will be conducting an emergency exercise in Huron and Bruce Counties between Friday, May 3 and Sunday, May 5, 2024. Goderich residents will notice a military presence throughout Town as soldiers will be stationed in the community over the weekend.
There is no reason for concern regarding this exercise. It is being conducted to create a more challenging, realistic training exercise for soldiers. Soldiers will be conducting fire fighting training, wellness checks, simulated search and rescue operations, establishing cooling centers, as well as other activities. These exercises will be conducted throughout Huron and Bruce Counties.
Wellness checks or "door knocks" will be performed in Goderich on Saturday, May 4. Soldiers will be going door-to-door and speaking with residents to simulate what would happen if they were asked to check on the well-being of residents during an actual emergency.
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.
Questions can be directed to 31 Canadian Brigade Group Public Affairs Officer, Lt Paul Verheye at [email protected].
