The MFC Building is now getting refurbished to become the new City hall for the newly formed city of Longueuil, which encompass St-Hubert, Greenfield Park, Lemoyne and obviously Longueuil.

Well, CFB St-Hubert became a very small base over the years. The Canex closed in the spring of 2004. It is sad to see for the ones how work there when it was the cdn army mobile command HQ (my grand-father was the camp helper of the chief of army staff back in the 60s and he work in that building). The only units there now are 51 (logistics) svc btn, the AF 6 Griffons, and a platoon of MP. There is also an army cdt corps and an air cdt squadron. Almost all the buildings are going sold off by dnd.The woods will have completely dissapeared in a few years, replaced by houses. The PMQs are occupied by ex-CF members.

But Why did the base close??? I mean, it had it's own airport, lots of room for personnel, nices messes...

J'ai déja été pensionnaire sur la base juste après sa fermeture, au mess des sous-off (B-51) et une baraque pour officiers (juste à coté, en face de l'hopital).

Annyways, I'm trying to write something about this base that had been so important. So I would need pictures, plans, blueprints of RCAF's buildings and of the post-68 eara, documents, etc.

thanx a lot
