[English] The area immediately south of the main rail line and sidings was established as a headquarters and administrative support area. It contained several wood frame structures including the Commandant's Hut (and Staff Lines), Camp Headquarters building, Pay Office, Engineer Stores, Mechanical Transport Garage and sheds, and Canadian Army Service Corps buildings. In 1916, a large CASC Supply Depot was constructed complete with an ice room and a refrigeration unit to house meat and butter, bringing the number of CASC storage buildings to four. A bakery, completed by August, could produce 25,000 loaves of bread a day, greatly reducing ration acquisition expenses. , Adjacent to the Administration Area, the Midway, which contained retail outlets for the troops grew to approximately 24 businesses. , (Background photo) Car bodies under construction by Canadian Army Service Corps mechanics.

comprenait plusieurs édifices à charpente de bois, notamment la résidence du commandant (et des lignes d'état-major), le quartier général, un bureau de paie, un édifice pour les fournitures techniques, un garage pour les transports mécaniques et des hangars, ainsi que les bâtiments du Corps de l'intendance de l'Armée canadienne. En 1916, le Corps de l'intendance de l'Armée canadienne a construit un grand dépôt d'approvisionnement avec glacière et appareil frigorifique où garder la viande et le beurre, portant à quatre le nombre de ses entrepôts. La boulangerie, terminée en août, pouvait produire 25 000 pains par jour, réduisant ainsi grandement les dépenses en acquisition de rations.
La zone des pavillons adjacente à la zone de l'administration, qui abritait des magasins de détail pour les troupes, s'est accrue pour atteindre 24 entreprises.
