Maaaybe Vernon. Very hot in the summer these days for reg force PT, and the shacks need work.

Back in the early '70s did a couple of summers there with the Army Cadets - lots of fun. Stayed in the same shacks my Uncle used during WW2.

Hmm not much training area, dated infrastructure, hours from a real air port? Sounds like an ideal location for a training base.



I wish that was sarcasm

Sunny Dunny or Vernon?

Break down from CMP, over all good but now the training bottle neck will get really ugly.

39 CBG ran some stuff out of there during COVID. Some facilities weren't too bad but not much in the way of wpns racks, lockers, and laundry areas. But much better then running things out of anywhere else in BC I imagine.

41 used wainwright during covid but many of those buildings should be condemned. Most didnt have first aid kits or fire extinguishers and werent ready for occupation when we showed up. Last year and this year we are running a battle school out of the British side of auffield since its not used by them any more. Needs some upgrades but over all does well in summer.

I was working there at the time. Many buildings hadn't had much money thrown into them since 2015 but the place was overflowing with 41 there. Seems like half the base is condemned when it comes to quarters. Glad to hear Suffield is being used
