Come celebrate Mother's Day underground! In order to commemorate the women in our lives, the Diefenbunker is offering a specialty tour that focuses on women's experiences at the bunker during the Cold War and on popular female Cold War figures. Mini-hand treatments and desserts will be offered to children and mothers to create some quality pampering time. A crafting space will be available for children to make Mother's Day cards and lovely bouquets, if you want to enjoy some relaxation time on your own. Marcia Lea, Ottawa's very own Cold War artist will be displaying her art for people to admire, discuss, and purchase.
