Jeff;
The only establishment at Fort William, Ontario was:
From 9 Oct 40 to 14 Feb 41 - a N.P.A.M. Training Centre
until converted and redesignated and placed on Active Service as:
From 15 Feb 41 to 31 Oct 43 - 102 Canadian Army (Basic) Training Centre (disbanded effective 31 Oct 43)
after which, the accommodations at Fort William, were used by the Veterans Guard of Canada, from 1 Nov 43 till date unknown
There was no Battle Training School located at Fort William, Ont., there was however, the following located at Vernon, B.C.:
From 1 May 42 to 4 Sep 42 - A 31 Battle Drill Training Centre
which was redesignated:
A 31 Canadian Battle Drill School (from 4 Sep 42 to 1 Nov 42)
which was redesignated:
S 10 Canadian Battle Drill School (from 1 Nov 42 until disbanded effective 31 Aug 43)
Hope this helps.
Cheers
