424 Squadron will be conducting a Search and Rescue exercise from May 4th to May 7th, 2009. The exercise will involve military aircraft and helicopters as well as search and rescue personnel and Canadian Coast Guard assets. There will be simulated casualty scenarios, with vehicles and equipment in specified locations.
Residents in the Barrie region may see both aircraft and numerous vehicles operating in the vicinity of the Barrie-Orillia (Lake Simcoe Regional) airport. The training will be conducted primarily throughout the day and will have minimal forecasted impact on local residents.
For reasons of public safety, 424 Squadron encourages local residents not to linger or loiter in the vicinity of the training scenarios.
