In Local, Upcoming Events

(Today’s Northumberland file photo)

Residents in Hastings, Northumberland, and Prince Edward counties are advised that personnel
from the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command will be conducting training in the area
from June 11 to 27, 2025. Training will be centered around the communities of Belleville,
Campbellford, Bloomfield, Picton, Quinte West, Tweed, and Stirling, Ontario.

Residents may notice an increase in military vehicles and aircraft, see uniformed and nonuniformed military personnel with firearms, and hear noises associated with explosives and
small arms fire. Only simulated and blank ammunition and explosives will be used as part of this
training exercise.

Thanks to the ongoing support of residents and community members, Canadian Special
Operations Forces Command personnel benefit from conducting realistic and challenging
training in unfamiliar environments, which prepares them to serve the national interest wherever
they operate.
