I'll add a bit if it helps.
The area Can-Car was on is still there except it's called Bombardier now. The Can-Car plant built Hell Divers and Hurricane during the war so I'm not sure if it was there that the barracks were located. Up until 10 years ago there was an old apartment complex that was next door to that location and was built around the early 40's(?) if not a bit sooner. It supposedly housed the workers of the Can-Car plant next door. The documentary "Rosie's of the North" shot a bunch of footage there. The complex was always (30 years that I know of) called Winston apartments. Possibly something to do with the war? It definitely looked like barrack type buildings, so this may have been a place they stayed.
The reference to Current River barracks, points to it's approximate location as Current River is one of the northern most neighbourhoods in the city. The Current River also runs through there on the way to Lake Superior. During the war there were a logging camp around there too.
