During the height of the Cold War, in the 1950s and 1960s, nearly 50 bunkers were constructed across Canada to shelter up to 8,000 officials in the event of a nuclear war. The exhibition explains the role of the bunker in the context of the extraordinary world wide tensions at that time. Visitors can view a ‘Mobile Feeding Unit’, ration kits, a Geiger counter and more!
