We currently have a static range consisting of archery targets set up from 20 to 70 yards and will be expanding our facility this year to include a 3D range and an elevated shooting platform. All of our targets are designed for use with field points only and the use of any other type of arrow head is strictly prohibited.

We provide all of the equipment and instruction for whoever does not have their own equipment and encourage those with their own equipment to hone their skills with their personal gear.

Military Physical Fitness Training and Testing

Military Physical Fitness Training and Testing PSP is fully committed to offering our military members safe, effective and highly professional fitness training and testing. Research-based, and in full compliance with all CAF regulations and standards, we believe our programming and staff “set the bar” for excellence in the pursuit of optimal health and performance.

We lead over 2,000 fitness classes annually. Many units take advantage of our services, implementing unit specific testing and training sessions. When unit training just “can’t work” (for the individual and/or unit) members can take advantage of our “Early Bird Classes” and/or “Fitness Development Classes” as advertised in this brochure.

Yet another option is our “Fit-Mix”/noon hour Program (FM).

This program (offered over noon hour Monday through Friday) is designed to provide a mixture of training modalities to a mixture of people (thus the name “Fit-Mix”). We really “mix things up” in these classes to keep it interesting and effective for all! Classes include HITT (high intensity tactical training), spinning, FORCE conditioning, total task circuit, running, yoga, etc. The schedule changes monthly so check out the current schedule at www.cafconnection.ca.

Everyone is welcome to attend these “open” classes including all military members, DND/NPF employees, Defence Team family members, and any Col J.J. Parr Sports Centre community card holder/drop-in.

FORCE testing is scheduled every week (bookings done through your unit coordinator). We also have the capability to offer any other approved CAF fitness test (i.e. Firefighters test, Basic Military Swim Test, SAR testing, etc.) as well as many other standardized evaluations. Simply contact our Fitness Coordinator at 780-840-8000, ext. 8194 to coordinate required specialty testing.

Military members are reminded of the following preevaluation instructions when preparing for their annual FORCE test…

Participants should not • Exercise 6 hours prior to the test • Consume alcohol for at least 6 hours prior to the test • Eat, smoke, or take stimulants (tea, coffee, energy drinks, pharmaceuticals, etc.) at least 2 hours prior to the test

34

www.cafconnection.ca • 2019-2020

(Note: non-compliance with the above instructions does not necessarily mean postponement of testing, however participants are advised that it can have a negative effect on their results.)

Cold Lake Air Force Museum and Cold Lake Museums

Cold Lake Air Force Museum and Cold Lake Museums Welcome to the Cold Lake Air Force Museum (CLAFM), the only Cold War Radar Station in Canada that has been transformed into an accredited RCAF Museum.

The facility was built in the early 1950’s. It served as a Cold War Radar Station as part of the Pine Tree Line, and the original home of42 Radar Squadron. In 1992, 42 Radar Squadron was relocated onto CFB Cold Lake and the facility was developed into a joint-use museum with the City of Cold Lake. There are currently four separate galleries housed in this unique building structure which includes the Air Force, Oil and Gas, First Nations and early Pioneers.

The Cold Lake Air Force Museum grounds are home to a small airpark. Five RCAF aircraft are displayed at ground level, as well as an accessible dome. Inside the museum, the CLAFM preserves and exhibits the history of 4 Wing Cold Lake, from its earliest development to present day. Visitors will discover the growth and reconstruction of 4 Wing Cold Lake and its associated Squadrons and Units.

The Museum is open seasonally; from May long weekend to August 31st with hours of operation Tuesday to Saturday from10-4, and Sundays throughout July and August. Please contact the CLAFM for group tours of 10 or more at 780-594-3546 or email clafm@ telus.net. Please like us on Facebook at Cold Lake Museums, and visit us at coldlakemuseums.org.

Admission is by donation with suggested rates of $5/person or $10/family.
