It’s the third time the contractors have been back, and they expect to find and detonate more explosives
Explosives experts contracted by the Department of National Defence are back in North Vancouver, searching the Blair Rifle Range lands for lost and forgotten munitions.
In 2018, the team carried out a search of the areas around existing trails on the southern portion of the site and found about 200 kilograms of mortar shells, dummy rounds and grenade components. Crews are currently removing brush from a 17-hectare swath of property northwest of McCartney Creek Park, which is considered by DND to be a “medium risk.”
The purpose is to give workers a 50-metre buffer any time they are dealing with UXO. Any trail that is closed will have signs posted warning people to choose a different route.
