No. The only vehicle that has made its way to CWM from Borden recently is the Panther A. It was moved in February 2005 prior to CWM's opening. It is to be restored but to date other than opening the hatches and inspecting the interior, little restoration work has been done. Many of the vehicles and almost all of the artillery has been moved off Worthington Park ,sand blasted ,repainted and placed in other spots around base. There is now a fairly impressive display at the entrance to CFB Borden with a Helicopter on plinth, Grizzly and Anchor. Inside the base you follow a row of repainted vehicles/ guns towards the museum. The new museum hangar west of Worthington has some of the more interesting vehicles now safely inside- Whippet, Ft-17, Matilda, Valentine, T-55(?) cutaway, the various softskins,etc. Finding it open to the public has been kind of hit and miss...

did my armour gmt and trades trg from may to dec 63 (R77) in camp borden. mixed memories of the tank park as if we incurred the wrath of our ncos we spent the weekend cleaning, painting, sweeping, raking, putting in walkways and generally spiffing up the grounds. did not really appreciate the history at the time. hope to visit sometime.

Thanks for posting these pictures. I lived at Camp Borden from 1963 to 1969 (airforce brat) and have many wonderful memories of climbing over the tanks and squeezing through the flat iron lattice they welded on some to keep larger kids out. Not much inside but bird nests, but still a great experience being where I wasn't supposed to be, and seeing where they kept the shells strapped in the turret. These pictures really took me back. Thanks.

Great gallery. I grew up in Borden for 5 years in the 70's. Trippy to see that the tank park is still as cool as I remembered it. (ah, the joys of tobagganing down Sandy hill, only to be cutoff by an APC roaring down the tank road).

My daughter just entered into boot camp at Camp Borden. Could someone send me the complete address of the camp so I could write to her? Are there any other sites that I could check out about the base? Thank you. Kathryn Hawes khawes@bmts.com

I'm a Malaysian who was a military cadet at the Royal Canadian School of Infantry, Camp Borden in 1965. There were some 30 military cadets being trained at that school. It would be great pleasure if I could view photos of buildings like the Sicily Block, Normandy Block, the Royal Canadian Provost Corp, the Hospital. Generally I would appreciate pictures of Camp Borden now. We will be having our reunion on the 27 Aug 05 and be glad to have these photos for show.
