Today
Although very eroded after over 85 years, the original trench system at Camp Hughes is still intact and is the only World War One era trench system remaining in North America.
The Camp Hughes Cemetery, which is located on what is known as Cemetery Hill, also remains at Camp Hughes.
The Camp Hughes site is no longer used for active military use, therefore access is not restricted to the area. It does however continue to be monitored by the Canadian Department of National Defense.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“At times it seems that the media have become the mainstream culture in children’s lives. Parents have become the alternative. Americans once expected parents to raise their children in accordance with the dominant cultural messages. Today they are expected to raise their children in opposition to it.”
—Ellen Goodman (20th century)
“Nobody can resist a ripe idea. The idea today is change.”
—Tansu Ciller (b. 1946)
“I remember a very important lesson that my father gave me when I was twelve or thirteen. He said, “You know, today I welded a perfect seam and I signed my name to it.” And I said, “But, Daddy, no one’s going to see it!” And he said, “Yeah, but I know it’s there.” So when I was working in kitchens, I did good work.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
