There will be plenty of loud bangs and booms at CFB Borden for the next couple of weeks.
Starting today through March 18th, soldiers from the Canadian Forces Logistics Training Centre Ammunition Technician course will be conducting controlled detonations at the base.
The CAF says at no time will this training pose a risk to the local population or infrastructure with rigorous safety standards in place.
It says there will be up to 20 controlled detonations taking place daily, excluding weekends, between the hours of approximately 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Canadian Armed Forces employs a wide range of ammunition on ranges across Canada.
Ammunition Technical Officers assist in the safe and expedient disposal of any misfired, dud or obsolete ammunition in Canada or on deployed operations overseas.
