Moss Park Armoury, Military training facility in downtown Toronto, Canada

The Moss Park Armoury encompasses a large drill hall and multiple training spaces at the intersection of Queen Street East and Jarvis Street.

The complex opened in 1966 after the demolition of University Avenue Armoury, continuing the military presence in Toronto with construction costs of 2.1 million Canadian dollars.

Four reserve units train at the facility, including the 48th Highlanders of Canada and The Queen's Own Rifles, maintaining military traditions in Ontario.

The facility accommodates over 600 soldiers and reservists each week, offering modern training areas and equipment storage for multiple Canadian Forces units.

During severe winter conditions in 2018, the armoury transformed into a temporary emergency shelter for Toronto residents needing protection from extreme weather.
