I would say CFB Petawawa, Ontario i'm from there, it's a military base, and it started out as a POW camp...

Petawawa is probably correct.
The standing collar and 7 buttons indicate Canadian pattern service dress uniform, worn from 1903 through to 1917, when replaced by the British pattern (rise-and-fall collar, 5 buttons).

So he's Royal Canadian Artillery. The Canadian army wore collar dogs before and during WW1.

If you have his full name, you should be able to find his attestation forms on Ancestry or at collectionscanada.gc.ca
