Cpl Roy Caroline from Riviere-du-Loup, a reservist with the Fusiliers du St-Laurent and criminology student at Laval University, oversees the eastern tip of Ile-aux-Coudres while Cpl Rene Gagnon-Desjardins Rimouski, a reservist in the same unit and roofer, takes a different position during the Exercise BOLD CROSSING held on Saturday, October 1 2011 in Charlevoix, Quebec.

 

Nine hundred reservists from the 35th Canadian Brigade Group (35 CBG) took part in Exercise Franchissement Audacieux on October 1 2011 in Les Eboulements and Ile-aux-Courdes municipalities, in the region of Charlevoix, Quebec.

 

The purpose of this exercise was to cross the St. Lawrence River aboard thirty assault inflatable boats to attack a fictional enemy located at the eastern tip of Ile-aux-Courdes. The simulation of fighting resulted in different scenarios ranging from ambushes to confrontation, punctuated by explosions.
