"I'm saddened to share that there have been both fatalities and injuries as a result of an incident on the base," identified as Wainwright in Alberta, McGuinty said.
Prime Minister Mark Carney had posted to X earlier Saturday that "a serious incident creating a major fire" had occurred at the base.
Neither offered details on number of casualties or the nature of the incident at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, located about 200km southeast of Edmonton.
"We will have more to say in the coming hours and days," McGuinty said.
