The first shovelfuls of earth were turned during a ceremony marking the official start of construction work on the new 35 Combat Engineer Regiment Armoury in Sainte-Foy on May 9th.
The project to construct the 4,000-square-metre building on Hochelaga Boulevard is part of Department of National Defence plans to modernize its infrastructure. The estimated $22 million project will give the Regiment space and facilities it needs to train and conduct its operations more efficiently.

During the weekend of April 29 to May 1, about 40 engineers of the 35 Combat Engineer Regiment (CER) built a floating bridge in the Anse au Foulon to maintain their bridging capability.
Establishing a medium raft crossing is essential to ensuring the mobility of personnel and equipment during military operations. This type of bridge makes it possible to cross large bodies of water, such as the St. Lawrence River. The length and weight of the raft may vary, depending on requirements. For the purposes of the exercise, the final raft was 42 metres long and weighed 33 tonnes.

Une quarantaine d'ingénieurs du 35e Régiment du génie de combat ont construit un pont flottant à l'Anse au Foulon dans le but de maintenir leur capacité de pontage lors de la fin de semaine du 29 avril au 1 mai.
Le franchissement par radeau moyen constitue une ressource essentielle à la mobilité du personnel et de l'équipement lors des opérations militaires. Ce type de ponts permet de franchir des cours d'eau d'importance tel que le fleuve Saint-Laurent. La longueur et le poids du radeau peuvent varier en fonction des besoins. Pour l'exercice, le radeau final était d'une longueur de 42 mètres et d'un poids de 33 tonnes.

Candidates of the Canadian Forces Aboriginal Entry Program (CFAEP 2016) from as far west as Keremeos, B.C., and as far north as Kudra, Inuvik, visited Nova Scotia for a three-week introduction to the CAF to get a better understanding of military life. At the Damage Control School at CFB Halifax the candidates worked waist-deep in cold water plugging holes in the navy flood simulator. Some candidates got the opportunity to experience what it feels like to walk in a heavy bomb suit during their time at Fleet Diving Unit (Atlantic).

The Missouri River is slowly resuming its role as a transportation corridor for commodities such as grain, scrap metal and fertilizer, but proponents of the barge industry acknowledge they're still swimming upstream against a perception that the river is not reliable enough to be profitable.
Some small, private barge companies never stopped using the river but public ports along the nearly 760-mile span from Sioux City, IA, to St. Louis, MO, disappeared in the late 1990s and early 2000s after a combination of drought, economic recession, low commodity prices and politic infighting led shippers to turn to rail and trucks.
