Camp 30: One Step Closer to Being Saved

Camp 30: One Step Closer to Being Saved

Tonight, Clarington Council voted to give the Jury Lands Foundation more time — approving a
motion that allows us to proceed with a professional structural assessment of the Camp 30
Cafeteria Building.
This means the building’s future isn’t over — it’s just beginning.
We want to sincerely thank Council for recognizing the importance of this heritage site and
giving us the opportunity to demonstrate that Camp 30 can — and must — be saved.
To everyone who signed the petition, shared posts, attended tonight’s meeting, or spoke
up in support — thank you. Your voices truly made a difference.
The Jury Lands Foundation will now move forward with the necessary work to show that this
remarkable site — a place that tells Canada’s WWII story of integrity, humanity, and resilience
— can stand strong once again.
Together, we are making history by protecting it.
