Orillia played a prominent role in Canada's involvement in the Second World War. The city's most important contribution involved the No. 26 Canadian Army Training Centre, a military camp popularly known as the Champlain Barracks, erected on 20 acres of private property adjacent to the Orillia Armoury, where thousands of home defence and active service troops were trained. This presentation will document the 1942 construction, wartime operation, and postwar dismantling of this training facility and discuss its major impact on Orillia.
