Suffield Range Safety Calendar
The Suffield Range Safety Calendar (February 2012) is published for use by those oil and gas companies which have acquired P&NG rights on the CFB Suffield Range. The range calendar is produced monthly during the active military training period which extends from April to October annually. It should be consulted when planning daily access to the Suffield Range or for larger scale projects. However, it is only a guide and can change dramatically due to various circumstances. Anyone wishing to access the range while there are live fire exercises occurring must have in their possession a copy of the current calendar.
