Not sure if this has been covered somewhere here, but reading a CBC article about NK and the Feds dusting off the old Cold War evacuation procedures.

The article references are mostly about the bunker in Carp Ontario, but causally mentions another deep underground complex in Calgary,since decommissioned. Somewhat surprised me as I’d never heard about there being such a main strategic command here.

A very brief Google search didn’t bring much up to me, stuff in the Bow Valley was the main one. Anyone here have more insight?

I assume it is or was on the CFB Calgary site? With all the development there the last 15 years or so (though it’s not all been developed, which one could deduce as to where it actually does still exist well below the ground), is it even at all potentially operational?
