4 Wing to run exercise at Bark Park & Archery Range on Monday

On Monday, Nov. 18, 4 Wing will be conducting an Emergency Response exercise within the Bark Park and Archery Range on base for the full duration of the day.  

In a public service announcement released Friday, CFB Cold Lake wanted to give a heads up that simulates dealing with an explosive device. This device will not be armed or dangerous.

“This scenario will depict an on-base Explosive Ordnance Disposal emergency situation, requiring a safety cordon around the area. It is for training purposes and the explosive device is not armed or dangerous. The Fire Chief, Health Services and the Military Police will be participating in this exercise,” the PSA says. 

“The public can expect some potential interruptions when accessing 4 Wing for services, with higher than normal activity/noise in certain locations.”

4 Wing says they are mindful of the Lakeland area and do not intend to disrupt your valuable time. This is an essential training requirement for our members and the community to be prepared in the case of a real life situation.
