Where do we train???

[dutchie936]

Hey guys.......I need some info on training from some experienced members.I have joined the Vancouver based Seaforth Highlanders Infantry division.And whenever I ask the recruiter about my training options,he seems to go into some weird story.So here it is.
If I choose the 20 day summer coarse,where is it held,do I stay there the whole time,and are the basic courses offered on more than one date over the summer.This is my preferred option as I have a wife and 2 boys who I would like to minimize the strain of my training...and just get through it.
As for the part time basic coarse in the fall.Where is it generally held,and do I stay there over the weekend,or go home at night.
And last but not least.......are the soldier Qual.,and infantry qual. courses offered on a part time basis as well.Or only full time in the summer.
Tanks for your help everyone......I'm looking forward to serving with all of you soon,as you seem to be a close knit group.

For your Summer Training, you will likely be in Wainwright, AB, Full Time.  For the Fall training you will be at home and going into the Armouries one night a week and a few weekends.
