CFB Montreal, Canadian Forces base in Montreal, Canada

CFB Montreal, officially 2nd Canadian Division Support Base Valcartier, Detachment Montreal, is a Canadian Forces base network in Montreal. Its north and south sectors cover 2.8 km² and are accessed from Notre-Dame Street and Hochelaga Street. The base includes sites such as Saint-Hubert, with 190 military family housing units, and Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, which hosts reserve armouries.

The site was built in 1941 as the Longue-Pointe Ordnance Depot, employing 2,000 military personnel by 1942 and then the largest depot in the British Empire. After World War II it became 25 Ordnance Depot, supporting NATO operations in Europe. It housed Ugandan refugees in 1972 and Vietnamese boat people later, and served as a logistics centre for equipment arriving for the 1976 Montreal Olympics. In 1994 CFB Montreal and Saint-Jean merged, and in 1998 the base joined CFB Valcartier under the 2nd Canadian Division Support Group.

The base's newspaper, Journal Servir, is published every second Wednesday and distributes about 3,300 free copies to CFB Montreal, Saint-Jean and the surrounding region. The site has also served civilian purposes: it housed Ugandan refugees in 1972, later Vietnamese boat people, and acted as a logistics centre for equipment arriving for the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

Access to the base is restricted and requires special permission for visitors. It is best to contact the facility in advance if you are planning a visit to the site.

Building 42, an administration structure completed in 1941, is registered in Canada's national historic places list. The structure reflects military construction standards and design from the early 1940s period.
