​Canadian Armed Forces holding training exercise in Huron County

April 13, 2024

(HURON COUNTY, ON) - The Huron County OPP will be working alongside members of the Canadian Armed Forces (31 Canadian Brigade Group) during a training exercise, “Trillium Venture,” May 3-5, in Huron and Bruce counties.

This exercise will enhance inter-operability with other governmental departments, as they work together to respond to a simulated extreme heat scenario.

Members of the public will see the deployment of Domestic Response Companies and Territorial Battalion Group sustainment equipment and vehicles to validate the ability to deploy and sustain in real time.

This is being done to create a more challenging, realistic training exercise, and will see soldiers conducting fire training, wellness checks, simulated search-and-rescue operations, cooling centre establishment, as well as other related activities.

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, Lieutenant Paul Verheye, at paul.verheye@forces.gc.ca.
