Seems that most smaller POW camp in Canada were just "numbered" but could not find a comprehensive Canadian listing.

The city jail in Hull, PQ was used as a POW jail..... also deserters and those running away from conscription and was just given a number.

There was a seasonal German POW work camp in the upper reaches of the Gatineau park around Lac Lapeche and although I found confirmation of it's existence no other details seem available......being remote trucks must have been used extensively for the 2 to 3 hour one way drive from/to Ottawa back in 1940.

Cheers
