Canadian Forces Hit the Street this Weekend

Its not an army occupation, but there certainly will be a military presence in Kenora this weekend.

Members of the 116th Independant Field Battery will be conducting a march through the city tomorrow morning.

The 13 kilometer march will start at 9:00 at Rheault Bay landing on McKenzie Portage Road and make its way through Keewatin, down Lakeview Drive and end up at the Armories on 9th Street North.

The soldiers will be wearing Canadian Army Uniforms, rucksacks and unloaded service rifles.

The march is part of the ARmy's battle fitness test.

Participants will be walking along the side of the road so no traffic will not be affected.
