The Airport Northwest Camp Gate consists of two square concrete gate posts situated on the north side of the Victoria International Airport, adjacent to Mills Road. The gate posts originally marked the entryway to the Northwest Camp of the Patricia Bay Royal Canadian Air Force Station Operations Training Facility. The design of the Airport Northwest Camp Gate exemplifies a regimented functionality and the emerging modernistic styles of the 1940s. With their square shape, pyramidal tops, chamfered corners and incised lines on the top portion, these commemorative gate posts reflect the abandonment of traditional architectural motifs and a reliance on pure form and unadorned surfaces. Recessed areas on each of the gateposts once featured name plaques. |
