On Thursday, October 2, Vancouver International Airport (YVR) will carry out an airport-wide emergency training exercise. Both the terminal and airfield will be used to practice response plans in coordination with partner agencies and emergency responders. The exercise will involve nearly 200 participants from 20 different organizations. Normal airport operations will not be affected.
The drill is scheduled to run from approximately 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Passengers may notice actors participating in the exercise within the terminal. All participants will be clearly identified with vests, YVR baseball caps, and/or name tags, and informational signs will be posted throughout the airport.
Full-scale exercises are a regular part of YVR’s Emergency Management Plan and help ensure readiness in line with Transport Canada regulations.
