Military Advising Public Of Training Operations

The military is advising people that soldiers, large vehicles, and heavy equipment are moving frequently between a base on the Sydney Port Access Road and the Upper Grand Mira area.  

It’s part of heavy equipment training that starts today and runs until Tuesday of next week, and the training is part of a larger series of exercises across the Regional Municipality that began earlier this month.

The military says soldiers will be operating heavy equipment and wearing tactical kit, and will be armed with unloaded weapons.

It adds some people may experience increased levels of noise and traffic as a result of the training.
