The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) will be conducting a field drill at a farm in the Steinbach area from March 11 to 13, 2014.
The drill allows the CFIA to practice its operational protocols which are used to respond to an animal disease outbreak. No infectious materials will be used during the drill. It will not affect animals or members of the public in the surrounding area.
Practice through field drills is one way the CFIA strengthens its preparedness to respond to an outbreak of foreign animal disease in Canada.
