Department of National Defence contractors are back at North Vancouver’s Blair Rifle Range Lands continuing their sweep for unexploded bombs near the recreational area’s trails. It’s the fourth time the unexploded ordnance or UXO team has come to help rid the area of potentially dangerous materials. Between now and March 2025, the team will be focussing their search on the areas south of Larkhall Crescent and east of Dresden Way. That will require rotating trail closures to keep the public back and allow them to safely do their work. Since DND began searching the former military training site between Blueridge and the Northlands Golf Course in 2018, contractors with metal detectors have picked up more than 400 kilograms of munition remnants, including mortar shells, grenade components, practice rounds and paraflares.
Mounties are reminding anyone who comes across explosives or live ammunition to call police for assistance and to not handle them yourself.

We make use of your pictures and articles, but we need them to put a context in how findings are done. We trust in your understanding. We will (and we always do) cite the source and the author.
