CFB Suffield

Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Suffield is located approximately 50km northwest of Medicine Hat.  The Base spans over 2690 square kilometres and is one of the largest live fire training areas in the western world.  The Base was established in 1941 when there was a need for a British/ Canadian experimental station for trials of biological and chemical defence.  Authorities considered sites in different parts of Canada and eventually decided on Suffield, Alberta.
