Council Approves Interim Measures for Camp 30 Cafeteria Building
On April 11, 2022, the General Government Committee of Clarington passed Resolution # GG-195-22 concerning the former Camp 30 site, specifically the Cafeteria Building. The resolution directs staff to implement interim measures to secure the building to prevent further deterioration or damage. The council approved funding not to exceed $100,000 for these measures, with costs to be covered by funds received for the preservation of the Cafeteria Building, drawn from the General Municipal Reserve Fund. The decision reflects the site's historical significance, as Camp 30 served as a prisoner of war camp during World War II and has been recognized for its cultural heritage value. The council's actions aim to mitigate risks associated with the building's condition while preserving an important part of the community's history.
