Council Clips – May 17, 2022
Emergency Preparedness Exercise – June 3-4
Council heard an update from administration on the full-scale field exercise scheduled for the afternoon of Friday, June 3 and all day Saturday, June 4. The Town of Canmore and our mutual-aid partners will be conducting a mock-wildfire exercise to prepare local emergency response agencies to respond to a wildfire in the area. This exercise will allow for testing of plans and building relationships in advance of emergency events. There will also will be simulated evacuation notices delivered to neighbourhoods north of 10 St, but residents and visitors are NOT have to evacuate.
