I read the license plate on the propellor driven snowcraft in the first photo as being from Manitoba.
WRT the second photo - According to a bit of web snooping (starting with wiki, then
http://pastforward.winnipeg.ca/digit...erman/id/2367/) RCAF No. 2 Manning Depot was located on the fairgrounds at 1010 Victoria Avenue, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, R7A 1A9. Based on the address, this might be the present Brandon Armoury but details of the buildings don't match in photos. On the other hand, quite a bit could have changed during renovations/repairs over the years. (there are also references to No. 2 Manning Depot being in St Jean, Quebec however I think this may have been a 50s-60s location.)
