CFB Valcartier - Military Installations on Waymarking.com

CFB Valcartier was originally erected as a military training camp in August 1914 as part of the mobilization of the Canadian Expeditionary Force at the onset of World War I.[1] The name Valcartier comes from the town of St. Gabriel de Valcartier, of which a large section was expropriated in order to create the military training camp.[2] Due to its proximity to the port of Quebec, Valcartier became the largest military camp on Canadian soil, including some 32,000 men and 8,000 horses.[3]

In 1968, after unification, the title 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group was assigned to the brigade group established in CFB Valcartier.
