Camp Hughes, Military training site in North Cypress - Langford, Canada
The military base spans 420 hectares of land south of the Trans-Canada Highway, containing training trenches, rifle ranges, and artillery observation posts.
In 1916, Camp Hughes trained over 25,000 Canadian troops, making it Manitoba's second-largest community after Winnipeg during World War I.
The training methods at Camp Hughes influenced Canadian military tactics, leading to successful operations at Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele during World War I.
Visitors reach the site by taking Trans-Canada Highway West from Winnipeg and turning south onto Provincial Road 351 past Carberry.
The facility included six movie theaters, retail stores, a hospital, post office, prison, and a heated in-ground pool during its peak operation.
