Combat Training Centre
Wednesday, 15th June 2005 by Alex Turnbull
Here at Camp Gagetown, home to the Combat Training Centre (CTC) (which trains professional combat soldiers for service in units across the Canadian Army), they have some super-cool large type and a giant maple leaf cut from a massive swath of trees! Excellent.

The Canadian Corps of Engineers and Canadian Forestry Battalions hard at work. 😀
WOW! This one is pretty cool and must have taken long to do…
Wow that’s pretty cool. I wonder if the Irving’s were involved with cutting that 😉 They cut wood all over NB.
Wow, good to know our friends of the North can do something productive…
Canada has an Army?
Yeah we do. If you follow the news, in 2002, in Afghanistan, there were actually 4 Canadian soldiers killed by an American F-16 fighter jet in friendly fire.
Canada has an Army?
being from Canada, I agree with you 😉
You heard about the destruction of the Canadian Navy right?
The Admiral ran his canoe into a rock …
The problem about some Americans is that they dont have any interest in many other countries. Mostly their own country, the US. There are some life in other places ya know ;).
“Wow that’s pretty cool. I wonder if the Irving’s were involved with cutting that 😉 They cut wood all over NB.”
Most of my extended family lives in Northen New Brunswick worling in the forestry industry. Fraser is the big forestry company out there, of which a number of them do contract work for. I wasn’t aware that Irving was in the timber cutting industry as well as oil, but you’re right they are a big company.
Oh yeah for sure. Every time I’ve driven through NB there are many signs along the road talking about Irving’s reforestation etc…
Ah here’s a good site… http://www.ifdn.com/index.htm
“The problem about some Americans is that they dont have any interest in many other countries.”
The problem about some Canadians is that they make general statements that make no sense. Your statement is true, but you can also replace the word “Americans” with “Canadians”, “French”, “German”, “British”, “Spanish”, and on and on.
Lighten up fella, I believe the person was offering a joke.
Glad to know Canada has an Army. They’re gonna need it when the hordes invade from the North
lol @ Dale!! Do you really think I thought this was serious. Heh heh…
Everything is not so nice at Gagetown. Ever heard of Agent Purple ? Read what has recently popped-up in the news:

CFB Gagetown, not Camp Gagetown (CFB stands for ‘Canadian Forces Base’; we do not call them ‘Camps’).
p.s. Here is the base proper, as opposed to what was shown in the other image.
So they cut down a bunch of trees to make a shape honoring a tree?
isnt this like a sign that shouts: BOMB ME!
Gagetown is a beautiful place. We were driving to the CANEX, and a nice medium size bear just past by us. I have to say that it indeed made the artillery excersize there more memorable. And the Canadian Forces were outstanding. Nice people, great attitude, awesome place (if you like the outdoors).

the trees were probably not cut at all, but rather cleared with agent orange.
you americans are such ethnocentric retards, OF COURSE Canada has a military we’re one of the richest most industrialized countries in the worold, just because many americans don’t have any intelligence outside of anything to do with celebrities (for god sakes you even vote them into your politics) doesn’t mean that Canada is exactly what you guys try to make it out to be. Please give up these retardedly off base statements that are way to out dated to be funny anymore, you’re only making your country south of our border look even worse than it already looks
