}} Johnstown (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Iain; Mi'kmaq: Nemtegowak) is a small community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Richmond County on Cape Breton Island . The altar in the vestry of Sacred Heart Church in Johnstown is reported to have come from Fortress Louisbourg before the final siege.[1]Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps Depot Johnstown

A large concrete reserve ammunition magazine for the major naval gun batteries in Sydney Harbour and Canso Strait was built at Johnstown.[2] Opened in the fall of 1943, the complex consisted of 3 magazines, similar to the ones at Debert, Nova Scotia and McGivney, New Brunswick.

Post-War, the site was used as a sub-depot of No, 31 Ordnance Depot in Debert, staffed by a single Private.

The depot closed on 18 March 1957.

All that remains is the laboratory building on the west side of Highway 4, south of Johnstown, now a private residence.[3]
