Royal Canadian Air Force Aircraft Operating in Eastern Ontario

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

6 August 2020 – 8 Wing Trenton, Ontario – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces

Throughout the year, people in the vicinity of CFB Trenton, CFD Mountain View, and a designated low flying area that extends north of Toronto and Kingston, may see Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) aircraft operating for flight training that includes search and rescue as well as low altitude flight maneuvers. These activities are all related to required training or operational search and rescue missions being conducted by squadrons based at 8 Wing Trenton, Ontario.

On average, the RCAF flies 393 search and rescue missions a year in our region. These missions are in response to distress calls and are often life-saving. Aircraft that are participating in search and rescue activities need to fly low in order to see what is on the ground. They sometimes move at slower speeds and circle an area more than once. They may also be accompanied by a helicopter, other aircraft, or boats on the water.

Tactical training, which may involve aircraft flying at low altitudes, high speeds, and performing turns, is essential for maintaining the skill of aircrews so they are ready to safely execute Canadian Armed Forces missions around the world, often under challenging conditions. It is important that these proficiencies are maintained in Canada so our aircrew are prepared to execute these maneuvers in potentially life-threatening situations.

Some RCAF aircraft are larger than many passenger airplanes and may appear to be flying lower than they actually are. Although aircraft within the Low Flying Area may operate as low as 200 feet above ground level, RCAF aircrew adhere to strict rules and regulations at all times to ensure safety. Aircraft flight paths are chosen to avoid populated areas to the greatest extent possible.

Quinte Conservation Removes Shoreline Conditions Statement of June 26, 2020.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
July 31, 2020

QUINTE CONSERVATION REMOVES SHORELINE CONDITIONS STATEMENT ISSUED FOR LAKE ONTARIO AND THE BAY OF QUINTE

Quinte Conservation has removed the shoreline conditions statement issued on June 26th for Lake Ontario and The Bay of Quinte.

Quinte Conservation uses lake elevation measurements of 75.3 m which corresponds to the level at which the lowest properties experience water over shoreline banks. The lake level is now below this elevation and is not expected to rise above it this year.

Lake Ontario’s water level continues to decline and was recorded at 75.1 m yesterday. This level is 17 cm above average and 56 cm below the recorded average set this time in 2019. Water Levels are expected to continue to slowly decline over the coming weeks and months.

Residents are reminded to take precautions along shorelines as unstable/unsafe banks may exist due to recent erosion and wave action. Those with properties in low-lying or flood prone areas should continue to monitor forecasts for storms and high winds which could lead to erosion from wave uprush. For information on flooding or for resources on Lake Ontario water levels, visit QuinteConservation.ca

Quinte Conservation Issues a Level 2 Low Water Status Statement - Use 20% Less Water Please

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
July 30, 2020

QUINTE CONSERVATION ISSUES A LEVEL 2 LOW WATER CONDITIONS STATEMENT FOR THE QUINTE WATERSHED

Quinte Conservation and this region’s Low Water Response Team (LWRT) have declared a Level 2 Low Water Condition for the Quinte Watershed.

There has been a significant shift in precipitation patterns over the last three months. Since early May, below normal precipitation has persisted which has resulted in dry conditions with a noticeable decline in stream flows.

Water supplies drawn from groundwater systems, and inland lakes and streams should be considered sensitive and vulnerable. Residents who draw from these supplies may experience current and future issues with water availability and should take extra precaution with their non-essential use. Residents with vulnerable water supplies and those that take bulk water from these areas are asked to voluntarily reduce non-essential water use by 20%.
