Completed in 1915, the Bay Street Armoury in Victoria, British Columbia is a national historic site and symbol of Canada's military expansion and participation in the early 20th century. Between 1896 and 1918 over 100 drill halls and armouries were constructed across the country, and at the time of its completion this was one of the largest. Still in active use, units stationed at the Bay Street Armoury include the 89th Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, the 5th Field Artillery Regiment, and the Canadian Scottish Regiment.
