Ontarians warned about NORAD G8/20 exercise
NORAD is warning people in south-central Ontario to prepare for some loud aircraft noises as they hold exercises in advance of the G8 summit in Huntsville and the G20 summit in Toronto.
The exercises will take place on Thursday and Friday.
It will involve CF-18 Hornet fighter jets, CH-124 Sea King and CH-146 Griffon helicopters. All will be flying at low levels, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said Tuesday in a news release.
"Residents in the exercise area may hear aircraft noise and perhaps see aircraft flying at various times throughout the day," it said.
"Training is conducted in a disciplined manner and in a professional environment to ensure NORAD's rapid response capability," it said.
"To maintain the integrity of its air defense mission, NORAD will not discuss specific details of the exercises."
The G8 summit is scheduled for June 25 and 26 and will be held at the Deerhurst Resort. The G20 takes place on June 26 and 27 at the Metro Convention Centre in downtown Toronto.
