Little Norway was a Royal Norwegian Air Force training camp in Canada during World War II. The camp was opened in November 1940, located in the bay area of Toronto, on the shores of Lake Ontario. Its first commander was Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen. Major Ole Reistad took over around New Year 1941.
In 1943 the training camp was moved to Muskoka, about 70 miles north of Toronto. Here the training continued until the fall of 1944, when the camp was moved to the air base Winkleigh in Devon, England.
