Background
Future construction of Combatant Training and Integration Centre Atlantic (CTIC-A), a new training facility at CFB Halifax, was announced in November 2023.
CTIC-A will be a collaborative training and operational support facility whose cutting-edge training systems will prepare Canadian sailors for the incoming fleet of River-class destroyers, the Royal Canadian Navy’s (RCN) next generation of warships. The facility will be a warfighting centre of excellence, enabling rapid technological change with agile capability development, and a secure training facility for classified individual and collective training, featuring advanced simulators for underwater, above water, and maritime air warfare.
CTIC-A is being constructed on Porteous Field. This site was chosen as it meets the facility’s security requirements, presenting minimal disruption to operations as it is located near other RCN training facilities, and is suitable for future utility tie-ins. CTIC-A construction is expected to finish in early 2030.
