Fort York Armoury, Military drill hall in Toronto, Canada.

Fort York Armoury is a Canadian Forces drill hall at Fleet Street and Fort York Boulevard, near Old Fort York in Toronto. Its main hall is covered by a lamella roof of wood, spanning nearly 125 feet without supports, sheltering parades, vehicles and training. The entrance has pilasters of rusticated masonry and a carved coat-of-arms of the Dominion of Canada above a flat keyed arch.

Fort York Armoury was built in 1933 with private funds, designed by the Toronto architects Marani, Lawson and Morris. A French source gives 1935 as the construction date. It has been a recognized federal heritage building since 1991 and still houses reserve units and cadet organizations.

The cap badges of each original regiment are carved in stone in the parapet above doorways that open onto ornamental iron balconies. Three small regimental museums inside hold the collections of the units based here, including the Queen's York Rangers and The Royal Regiment of Canada. The officers' messes overlooking Lake Ontario follow the traditional British form.

The site remains an active military training center, so public access to certain areas may be limited or restricted at times. Visitors should check in advance about accessible sections and expect to find an operational military facility.

The armoury's roof is a lamella structure of wood, not concrete: a lattice of short timber members forming an arched vault with an uninterrupted span of nearly 125 feet, described as the largest lattice wood arched roof in Canada. It shelters parades, military vehicles and soldier training.
