It is at the northeast corner of Jarvis Street and Queen Street East, in the neighbourhood of Moss Park. It was constructed in the mid 1960s. In Spring and fall 2010, the armoury was renovated and the facade was replaced.[1] It currently hosts several units of the Primary Reserve. More than 600 soldiers and reservists train at Moss Park every week.[2] It is located close to the downtown core and financial district, as well as several postsecondary institutions including the University of Toronto, Ryerson University, and George Brown College. The Armoury is within short walking distance of the Queen subway station. It is also accessible by the 501 Queen and 502 Downtowner streetcar routes.
