Jeff;

The only establishment at Fort William, Ontario was:

From 9 Oct 40 to 14 Feb 41 - a N.P.A.M. Training Centre

until converted and redesignated and placed on Active Service as:

From 15 Feb 41 to 31 Oct 43 - 102 Canadian Army (Basic) Training Centre (disbanded effective 31 Oct 43)

after which, the accommodations at Fort William, were used by the Veterans Guard of Canada, from 1 Nov 43 till date unknown

There was no Battle Training School located at Fort William, Ont., there was however, the following located at Vernon, B.C.:

From 1 May 42 to 4 Sep 42 - A 31 Battle Drill Training Centre

which was redesignated:

A 31 Canadian Battle Drill School (from 4 Sep 42 to 1 Nov 42)

which was redesignated:

S 10 Canadian Battle Drill School (from 1 Nov 42 until disbanded effective 31 Aug 43)

Hope this helps.

Cheers
