Dalton Armoury is a Canadian Forces Primary Reserve facility located at 20 Scarsdale Road in North York, Ontario, Canada. It was opened on April 22, 2006.http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/32cbg_hq/HQ/STEADFAST/STEADFAST_Issues/06Oct_Issue.pdf
The building was leased primarily to house Buffs Company, of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada, as part of the Land Force Reserve Restructure (LFRR) program. An outcome of LFRR was the decision to expand the CF's community footprint into high density areas that are too far from current armouries by public transit.http://www.torontosun.com/News/Columnists/Strobel_Mike/2006/04/21/1543305.html Mike Strobel Fri, April 21, 2006 Army Opens Base in North York
