Approximately 150 soldiers and 20 military vehicles from the 4th Canadian Division’s 31 Canadian Brigade Group will conduct military convoys from Barrie to the Sudbury area, and from Barrie to Petawawa, on Feb 11 and 12 as part of a military exercise.
Local residents can expect to see various military vehicles travelling northbound on Highway 400 through Parry Sound, and north and northeast on Highways 11 and 60 through Orillia, Huntsville and Barry’s Bay.
Motorists and pedestrians are asked to use caution when approaching, and when in the vicinity of these vehicles.
The personnel will take part in NOREX 22 , a winter exercise with the intent to demonstrate the 4th Canadian Division Arctic Response Company Group’s ability to command, move, and communicate under harsh weather conditions in remote locations.
