NATO and NORAD Low-Level Military Training Flights in Canada

92.15 NATO and NORAD Low-Level Military Training Flights in Canada

Whereas

• Low-Level military training flights are hazardous and harmful to people, the environment, and wildlife, causing pollution, noise, and accidents.
• These flights disrupt traditional native economies and rural life in Canada.
• The purpose of low-level training flights is to evade enemy radar and deliver preemptive nuclear weapons.
• These flights use bombs as ‘wingless missiles’, contradicting the INF Treaty, thereby contributing to global instability.
• Canada’s military and people support peacekeeping, non-threatening defense, and national self-determination, rather than international aggression.

Resolved

The National Council of Women of Canada (NCWC) urges the Government of Canada to:

1. Discontinue all Canadian low-level training flights.
2. Refrain from entering any future international agreements for low-level military flight training.
