I have heard some pretty good things about CFB Borden.

Can't wait to start BMQ there.

Really? Borden is a nice little base and all, but it's almost like doing BMQ at Connaught Ranges...

Does anyone know if CFSAL runs RMS Clerk course year round?

Please explain

Well, often when I'm up at Connaught during the Summers, they are running RES BMQ courses (I think) up there. Could be another course, but the kids are all pretty new at it.
Connaught Ranges is just that...Ranges. Admin buildings, Mess, 5 shacks, the ACNSTC, a few shooting huts, and the RCMP's buildings. Training grounds are pretty limited, although they do have an "Assault Course".

Borden of course, has many more training areas, as well as space. But as far as I know, other than training trades, and MPs.....it's mostly for the RES, and Blackdown for the Cadets. Although, I think there's a Reg Air Wing there.

Borden is home for the following schools CFSAL, CFSEME, CFSATE, ACA and others......Hardly "mostly RES and cadets" dont you think ?

Something about one's lane.....

That was fast! Someone's up on the computer late too!
No, hardly RES and Cadets, but the CFSEME could definitely be "Training Trades", wouldn't it?
I'm not sure what schools the other acronyms stand for.

CFSAL = Canadian Forces School of Administration and Logistics
CFSATE = Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering
ACA = Air Command Academy

Thanks, I'll be sure to remember those in the future! Hopefully, I can provide a more accurate opinion based on that information.
You edited in that bit about staying in my own lane awfully quick!

CFLRS Det, CFRG HQ and 400 Sqn which is roughly 60/40 Res/Reg.

Really?  Seems to me that Borden is the biggest, and main training base for the CF.  Also, the facilities for BMQ are second to none.  Ie: the field house, the main gym. the private recruit training room (brand new circuit/weights/spin bikes), and the 2 pools.  I'm not sure if it is almost like doing basic at Connaught. :

Really?  You must not get out much or are a real new guy........

Could have sworn that that was Gagtown Gagetown seeings as most of the schools are located here at Combat Training Centre  Even the Enginner school now belongs to CTC thus completing the circle of having all schools under one command.

Seems to me that Borden is a large training base, considering the number of schools located here.  Tiny training area though, not even worth mentioning....
