Hyer training at CFB Trenton

Thunder Bay Superior North MP Bruce Hyer joined Canadian Forces personnel for training at CFB Trenton this week. The training is part of a program for a limited number of parliamentarians to gain better understanding of Canada's military. As a former bush pilot, Hyer says its a honour to be training at 8 Wing Trenton with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
