The 1911 did say that he worked as an accountant for a Department store, so it could well have been the Hudson's Bay retail store. Can check the directories for the era, if you wish...as he might have stated the place of employ...or he may just have put Dept. store as in census...
I have some search requests, so I will get down to the leg. library sometime soon...
Haha...the old bank in Stonewalll, pretty old building, but I think it was a coffehouse last time I was there!! Lovely little town, by the way.

My mistake :P Not "Bank". It says "Book Keeper - Accountant"
Patrick Francis Skinner according to the FreeBMD was born in the 2nd Quarter of 1904 in Pancras.
According to the census he was born in March 1904.
I imagine that Harold Edward Skinner was the one born in Hendon in 1st Quarter of 1903?
Marriage in 3rd Quarter of Harold Edward Skinner & Emily Daniells.

Camp Hughes Under Threat - Archaeological Protection Plan
Camp Hughes (formerly Camp Sewell, circa 1910) near Brandon, Manitoba (not to be confused with Camp Shilo) was utilized to train over 40,000 men for the CEF in the Great War. This 2004 document is a William Galbraith master's thesis [227 pages] from the University of Manitoba. It provides some excellent background, historic and modern photographs including aerial, maps and detailed discussions regarding the preservation of this unique historic Canadian military training base in western Manitoba.

Went through many years of the Henderson Directory....
Only year there was a listing was 1912...
Skinner H.E driver Wm. Coates 68 Juno
Skinner Harold .E clk ( ? res coding) 68 Juno
He may have already moved to Stonewall after this...as that was all I found for Wpg. J.J.

Found a document listing forSkinner, F.L.
1947, trip to Europe to obtain parent material for plant breeding
so perhaps it was an offspring who was a horticulturist?
