Diefenbunker

The Diefenbunker was built during the Cold War as the centre of government operations during a nuclear attack. Would the Russians ever think to attack Carp?

It was an operating military base into the 1980’s. Today, many of the areas are recreated as part of Canada’s Cold War Museum.

Although it got its nickname from Prime Minister Diefenbaker, Diefenbaker refused to ever visit because the military told him that (in the event of a nuclear attack) he wouldn’t be permitted to bring his wife.
