I‘m not sure about the Ottawa area, but I know there was at least one POW camp for Germans between Petawawa and Chalk River, actually within the Petawawa training area. The graves of the
unfortunate few that died are still tended and marked and more than a few returned to the area after the war, having been so taken by the land.
