Guards watch internees at Castle Mountain Internment Camp, Banff, AB
Black and white photograph depicting internees and guards outdoors at the Castle Mountain Internment Camp in Banff, Alberta. The internees stand huddled in the middle of what appears to be a snow covered field. Guards holding rifles over their shoulders stand guard in a circle around the internees. Barrack buildings are visible in the left background and a stone compound with look-out tower is visible in the right background. Mountains are visible in the far distance. During World War I the Canadian government authorized the internment of a number of individuals across the country. Many of the men interned at this camp would be sent to the Crowsnest Pass area to work in the mines.
