4th Canadian Division Training Centre

It is located in Grey County, Ontario, in the Saugeen Ojibway Nation traditional territory, northwest of the Meaford townsite and approximately 25 km (16 mi) east of Owen Sound on a peninsula extending into Georgian Bay.

[1] In 1942, the Department of National Defence purchased 80 km2 (20,000 acres) of private lands along the Georgian Bay in the St. Vincent Township.

Its landscape included limestone cliffs, dense forest and rolling open agricultural land, as well as swamps, all based on a topography of heavy clay broken up by a vast distribution of rock, Mountain Lake, and a 22 km (14 mi) shoreline.

In 1970, it was decided to mothball the entire facility, reducing staffing from 153 military and civilian personnel to a five-person security staff of Commissionaires.

A 1973 study recommended Camp Meaford be reactivated as a Primary Reserve training facility for manoeuvres and live firing exercises to save on transportation costs.

The creation of MTSCM saw all buildings and areas of the camp reactivated in August 1989 and a small number of personnel and civilian employees stationed at the facility full-time.

LFCA TC Meaford currently holds basic qualification courses as well as infantry and artillery training.
