As early as 1928, the area around Dundurn, Saskatchewan was used by local Militia as a training area (Dundurn Military Camp). Dundurn is located approximately 40 km south of Saskatoon.  

In 1939, Camp Dundurn was the largest military base in Saskatchewan. It housed not just training camps but also acted as the transit camp for forces getting ready to go overseas. More than 50,000 soldiers from western Canada trained at Dundurn before going overseas. The base also housed a RCAF bombing range, hospital with Nurses’ residence, Canadian Women’s Army Corps (training and barracks), and an ammunition depot. Local Militia units also trained there. 

On 28 January 1942, A27 Canadian Armoured Corps Training Centre transferred from Camp Borden to Camp Dundurn. It was renamed A27 Canadian Reconnaissance Training Centre. A27 CRTC closed at the end of the war (March 1945).

Camp Dundurn continued in use after the war. It was a busy Cadet training area during the 1950s and 1960s, and was re-opened for Militia summer training in 1976. 

Camp Dundurn is now Canadian Forces Ammunition Depot Dundurn.  It is the largest ammunition storage facility for the Canadian Forces. It still has a large training area including ranges and support facilities. It is used by both regular and reserve units.
