There are heritage buildings on the site, but officials said none of the training will be done at or near the designated structures.

Even though it is a training exercise, people are asked to stay out of the area while training is underway.

However, the public is invited to participate in the Canadian Army Reserve Open House at the Guelph Armoury on Saturday.

Members of the 11th Field Regiment of the Royal Canadian Artillery will be on site between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to answer questions about their experiences.
