A Canadian Forces Base or CFB (fr. Base des forces canadiennes or BFC) refers to a Canada military installation of the Canadian Armed Forces. Minor installations are also named Canadian Forces Station or CFS (fr.

Elements of CF-18 squadrons periodically deploy to these FOLs for short training exercises or Arctic sovereignty patrols. ===All services=== * CF HQ Ottawa, Ontario * CFS Alert, Nunavut * CFS Leitrim, Ontario * CFB Ottawa, Ontario * CFNA HQ Whitehorse, Yukon Territory * CFNA HQ Yellowknife, Northwest Territories ==Closed== ===Former bases=== * CFB Calgary, Alberta * CFB Griesbach, Alberta * CFB Namao, Alberta * CFB Wainwright, Alberta * CFB Chilliwack, British Columbia * CFB Winnipeg (Kapyong Barracks), Manitoba * CFB Chatham, New Brunswick * CFB Moncton, New Brunswick * CFB Aldershot, Nova Scotia * CFB Cornwallis, Nova Scotia * CFB Clinton, Ontario * CFB Downsview, Ontario * CFB London (Wolseley Barracks), Ontario * CFB Mountainview, Ontario * CFB Picton, Ontario * CFB Rockcliffe, Ontario * CFB Toronto, Ontario * CFB Uplands, Ontario * CFB Summerside, Prince Edward Island * CFB St. Hubert, Quebec * CFB St. Jean, Quebec * CFB Dundurn, Saskatchewan * CFB Baden Soellingen, Germany * CFB Lahr, Germany ===Former stations=== * CFS Beaverlodge, Alberta * CFS Penhold, Alberta * CFS Aldergrove, British Columbia * CFS Baldy Hughes, British Columbia * CFS Holberg, British Columbia * CFS Kamloops, British Columbia * CFS Ladner, British Columbia * CFS Masset, British Columbia * CFS Beausejour, Manitoba * CFS Churchill, Manitoba * CFS Flin Flon, Manitoba * CFS Gypsumville, Manitoba * CFS Coverdale, New Brunswick * CFS St. Margarets, New Brunswick * CFS Barrington, Nova Scotia * CFS Debert, Nova Scotia * CFS Mill Cove, Nova Scotia * CFS Newport Corner, Nova Scotia * CFS Shelburne, Nova Scotia * CFS Sydney, Nova Scotia * CFS Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador * CFS Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador * CFS St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador * CFS Iqaluit, Nunavut * CFS Armstrong, Ontario * CFS Carp, Ontario * CFS Falconbridge, Ontario * CFS Foymount, Ontario * CFS Gloucester, Ontario * CFS Lowther, Ontario * CFS Moosonee, Ontario * CFS Ramore, Ontario * CFS Sioux Lookout, Ontario * CFS Chibougamau, Quebec * CFS Moisie, Quebec * CFS Mont Apica, Quebec * CFS Lac St. Denis, Quebec * CFS Senneterre, Quebec * CFS Alsask, Saskatchewan * CFS Dana, Saskatchewan * CFS Yorkton, Saskatchewan * CFS Whitehorse, Yukon * CFS Bermuda, Bermuda The Canadian Forces were reduced during the 1990s from a high of 85,000 personnel in the late 1980s to the present force levels. Coinciding with personnel and equipment reductions was the politically-controversial decision to close a number of bases and stations which were obsolete or created duplication. A small number of these "closed" facilities have actually continued operating as before, however for reasons of cost and administrative efficiency (or in the case of radio and radar facilities - automation) they have been absorbed into other nearby bases and therefore do not qualify for a separate designation. For example, the CF Leadership and Recruit School at St. Jean, Quebec, is now a lodger unit of CFB Montreal, and the former CFS Masset is a detachment of CFS Leitrim. Other facilities, such as the former CFBs Aldershot and Wainwright, are now used as training grounds for reserve/militia units. ==See also== * List of Canadian Air Force bases * List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations * List of Royal Canadian Navy stations Canadian Forces bases CFS St.John's is still an operating station.
