The Diefenbunker is a 100,000 sq ft, underground emergency bunker that was built just in case Canada suffered a nuclear attack during the Cold War.
For 32 years it protected us from 75 feet underground and we knew virtually nothing about it. Today the Diefenbunker has shed its veil of secrecy to become so much more than a Cold War museum.
It is a reminder of how close we came to a nuclear disaster in 1962, it is a community hub like no other, and it is a physical reminder of a powerful Canadian value: the importance of peaceful conflict resolution as part of a democratic society. There is no other museum like the Diefenbunker.
