HERE’S A RECAP
Amy Barron discussed the history of Camp 30 which was a German prisoner of war (POW) camp during WW2. It was located in the former Bowmanville's Boys Reform school and housed top-ranking German POWs. Durham Region played many parts in the overseas war effort including hosting important German officers whose one mission to get back to Germany led to many interesting escape attempts. Life in Camp 30 had many interesting ups and downs, from local recreation activities to the “Battle of Bowmanville”.
Ms. Barron also talked about the Jury Lands Foundation which is a non-profit organization working to preserve and protect this unique national landmark. Through education, community engagement and site restoration, the Foundation intends to ensure that the legacy of Camp 30 and the history of the Jury Lands are never forgotten.
