Residents are being informed about a rise in military vehicles on the roads next week as Canadian army personnel travel through Southern and Eastern Ontario for the making of a documentary.
According to officials, Canadian army vehicles will be seen on various routes between Petawawa, Oshawa, and Greenbank from May 4 to 8 for an original ten-part series called “Fallen Heroes.”
This series aims to honor the contributions of the Canadian Armed Forces during their time in Afghanistan.
“The film focuses on the CAF experience in Afghanistan, highlighting the war’s impact on Canadians and honours the courage and bravery of our members in uniform,” a spokesperson with the Department of National Defence wrote in a press release.
“For historic context, members will be incorporating elements of the Afghan National Police (ANP) and Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers’ uniform as well as their weapons,” the spokesperson added. “Authentic elements of a CAF soldier deployed to Afghanistan will also be incorporated.”
Troops won’t carry any weapons or ammunition while moving between filming sites, though some members will have weapons during filming, but without any live ammunition.
“Members of the public are asked to take extra caution when approaching military vehicles and are thanked in advance for their understanding and co-operation,” officials added.
