We will be conducting a disaster training drill in Mahon Park on March 13, 2013.  The park will be closed to the public during that time.  There will be numerous vehicles and personnel from the fire, police and ambulance departments.  This drill is part of a research project being conducted by the Justice Institute of British Columbia with the support of the North Shore Emergency Management Office and North Vancouver City Fire Department.  We are doing this drill so we can better respond and help our community during a real emergency.  This is only a drill so we can better respond and help our community during a real emergency.  This is only a drill and NOT a real emergency.
