Barrie Armoury is the Regimental HQ of the Grey and Simcoe Foresters, a Reserve Force infantry unit that is part of 32 Canadian Brigade Group. One company is based here; the other is based at Owen Sound Armoury in Owen Sound, Ontario. (Source: Wikimapia.org).
Barrie Armoury is associated with the provision of drill halls for the active volunteer Militia in Canada, specifically under Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia and Defence from 1911 to 1916. It is built of red brick trimmed with limestone details. Lecture rooms, storage facilities and administration offices surround a large drill hall. (Source: HistoricPlaces.ca).
