Hey,

I was driving to MRC last week in that neighbourhood between West Hills and MRC. (You cut off richmond road, as if you were going to go to those big apartment buildings).

Anyway, I saw an army guy running down the sidewalk with a full kit and gun and everything...

Then, about 5 minutes later, there was what I assume was a whole platoon running down the street... m16s and all.

anyone know about this? Obviously training, but why in Calgary? I thought we didn't have the base, and as such, no army training... especially with guns in residential areas.

edit:

just dawned on me... Reserves.
