Community Apartments

Three people on bikes and one man walking toward "the community apartments - veterans' housing in former Air Force buildings".

Bio/Historical Note: The Community Apartments, formerly H-Hut barracks located at the Saskatoon airport for Royal Canadian Air Force trainees during World War II, became the off-campus home of many University of Saskatchewan veterans. The huts came from the former No. 7 Initial Training School (ITS) and moved to 1130 Avenue A North (Avenue A and 33rd Street West). The apartments were controlled by the Saskatchewan Reconstruction Housing Corporation, closing ca. 1965.

Bio/Historical Note: Interesting tidbit:"Three University of Saskatchewan veterans and their families have received eviction notices from the Community Apartments for failing to apologize to the kitchen staff with whom they had lodged complaints."
From: The Daily Ubyssey, 21 November 1947.

Bio/Historical Note: The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), or Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS) often referred to as simply "The Plan", was a massive, joint military aircrew training program created by the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand during the Second World War. The BCATP remains as one of the single largest aviation training programs in history and was responsible for training nearly half the pilots, navigators, bomb aimers, air gunners, wireless operators and flight engineers who served with the Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm (FAA), Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) during the war.
