LFCATC Meaford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Land Force Central Area Training Centre Meaford (also LFCATC Meaford) is a Canadian Forces Training Centre located in Grey County, near the town of Meaford, Ontario.

LFCATC Meaford is located approximately twenty minutes east of Owen Sound on a peninsula extending into Georgian Bay. Relatively few military personnel are stationed at the training centre as it serves primarily for training regular force and reserve units attached to Land Force Command's Land Force Central Area.

The training centre conducts year round courses for regular force personnel, while expanding dramatically during the summer months to accommodate a large number of courses for reserve personnel.

During the period of September-June LFCATC Meaford serves as the primary weekend training location for reserve unit exercises for units from the Greater Toronto Area and other locations across Southern Ontario.

The training centre's Regimental Sergeant Major is Chief Warrant Officer Surridge.

Known as one of the best Reserve training centers in Canada, just don't walk on the grass.
