Abandoned Armouries

Not all communities have a full size base in the area, but years ago, even the smallest communities had an armoury or drill shed at which the local Militia trained. Some were large ornate buildings, and some were smaller that barn, but all served their purpose. In some cases, the buildings outlived their usefulness as a military facility, and others closed when the local militia unit disbanded.

PLEASE NOTE:  This is not meant to be a complete list of abandoned armouries across Canada, but simply a sampling.  If you notice that an abandoned armoury in your city or town is missing, please contact me and I will add it.  If you can forward some information and photos, that would be appreciated too.
