🚨 On January 19, Clarington Council will decide the future of the Camp 30 cafeteria building — one of the most historically significant WWII structures in Canada.

This is the building where high-ranking German prisoners of war barricaded themselves during the Battle of Bowmanville in 1942, an event recognized as the only battle fought on Canadian soil during the Second World War.

Ahead of this meeting, Manorville Homes has completed an updated structural assessment of the cafeteria building and will be presenting its findings to Council. This assessment will help inform Council’s decision on whether the building should be preserved.

Council has been clear that they want to see strong public support and a credible fundraising effort from the Jury Lands Foundation to demonstrate that the community is willing to help raise the funds needed to save this historic building.

⏳ This is a pivotal moment.

Your support right now matters. Donations, if able, petition signatures, and sharing this campaign all help demonstrate that saving the Camp 30 cafeteria building has meaningful community backing.
