  • Weekend training exercises at Metrotown mall

Mounties in Burnaby are telling the public not to be alarmed as emergency responders conduct training exercises at a major shopping mall.

Police say fire, police and emergency responder presence will be visible at Metrotown during eight evenings this month and next.

The two confirmed dates for the exercise at Metrotown are Sunday, October 6th, and Monday, October 7th, when the mall is closed from 5 p-m to 2 a-m.

The event will include volunteer actors, and police say they want to make sure the public knows that their presence is part of training and not a critical incident.
