A SECRET HISTORY HIDDEN IN WHITBY Behind Whitby’s modern community lies one of Canada’s most fascinating wartime stories. During the Second World War, **Camp X** operated on the shores of Lake Ontario in Whitby as a secret intelligence and training facility connected to British Security Coordination and **Sir William Stephenson “Intrepid.”** Today, that remarkable legacy remains part of Whitby’s identity. At **Whitby Public Library**, the striking Sir William Stephenson monument creates a powerful connection between the community we see today and the secret history that once unfolded nearby. For filmmakers, photographers and storytellers, this is more than a location. **It is a doorway into a story that helped shape history.**
