Denison Armoury, Military facility in Downsview, Toronto, Canada
The Denison Armoury is a military facility in Downsview, Toronto, located on Yukon Lane and serving as a training and operations base for Canadian Armed Forces units. The building provides space for multiple military organizations to conduct their regular activities and exercises.
The original facility opened in 1961 and operated as a military base for decades before being replaced by a new building in 2002. The modern structure was constructed to accommodate the changing operational needs of the Canadian Armed Forces.
The facility bears the name of George Taylor Denison III, a prominent Canadian Militia commander who served as both judge and Toronto alderman.
The facility is located in an accessible area with good road connections and easy navigation. Keep in mind that this is an active military installation where public access may be restricted.
The current location on Yukon Lane is not where the armoury originally stood, as it previously occupied a site on Dufferin Street near Highway 401. The former location was later redeveloped for a major retail project, reflecting how the neighborhood has transformed over time.
