Putting new skills to the test!

Students on their Assault Pioneer Course developed their skills and confidence by building inert explosive charges in a classroom setting before completing a complex demolitions range that had them apply explosive charges to wooden, concrete, steel, and wire targets. The course concluded their successful range by performing a cratering. Assault Pioneers utilize demolitions to provide Canada’s Light Infantry Battalions mobility and counter-mobility support at home and abroad.

It's the drone age.

Our soldiers on Op REASSURANCE are training with the latest counter-drone technologies and learning first-person drone tactics.

On D-Day, in the early hours of June 6th, 1944, Canadian soldiers approached their objective by landing craft. Despite being cold, wet, and seasick, they remained confident and determined as they began their assault on Juno Beach, marking the start of Operation Overlord and the Battle of Normandy.

The eventual victory would mark a critical turning point during the Second World War, but it came at a heavy cost. By the end of the Battle of Normandy Canada suffered 18,444 casualties, of whom 5,021 would never return home.

We will never forget their bravery and their heroism. It remains an inspiration to every soldier who wears the uniform today. We will remember them.
