Canada Day at the Diefenbunker

Monday July 1, 11:00am-4:00pm | Free Admission for all

When the Diefenbunker was top-secret Canadian Forces Station Carp, Canada Day was the only day of the year that staff were allowed to bring their families underground to see their workplace. We invite you to bring your family to experience this rather unique workplace. While you visit, be a part of your own postcard, have your face painted, or enjoy some refreshments and live performances. The Diefenbunker is your west end destination for Canada Day 2013.

Cost: Free for Everyone
