During the Second World War, secret things were happening on Whitby’s lakeshore. Opened in December 1941, Camp X was a secret spy training facility located on the boundary between Whitby and Oshawa on the shores of Lake Ontario. The Camp was jointly operated by the Canadian Military and the British Security Coordination (BSC). It was known by many different names including Project J, Special Training School No. 103, and “the Farm”, but it is most commonly known today as Camp X.
