Bay Street Armoury is located at 715 Bay Street in Victoria, British Columbia. The Bay Street Drill Hall was completed in 1915. It was created to provide training facilities for local militia units such as the Fifth Regiment of artillery, as well as to provide a home for two newly formed units, the 50th Gordon Highlanders of Canada and HQ Military District No. 11. The Armoury was designed by architect William Ridgway Wilson, (1863-1957). In its earlier years the armoury had more extensive use for public events as modern public facilities in Victoria had not yet been built.
