The Diefenbunker is also Canada’s most significant Cold War artifact — it is a powerful reminder of our world on the edge of nuclear war\, and tells the story of Canada’s resourcefulness\, preparedness\, and extraordinary efforts to safeguard our way of life in the face of a nuclear catastrophe.  \nWith your help\, we can preserve this important window into the past and continue to share lessons for future generations to learn from our past and envision a more peaceful future. Your support through this signature event will contribute to our charity’s preservation and conservation efforts of a one-of-a-kind historic site\, along with our ability to offer high-quality exhibitions and educational programs to visitors year-round.  \nTax receipts will be issued after the event to the ticket purchaser\, only for the value of the donation portion of the ticket price.  \nInterested in sponsoring the event? Learn about sponsorship opportunities here. \n     \n\n\nWhisky selections\nGuests will be served 1 oz of each whisky. Tasting order and selections are subject to change. \n– Rabbit Hole Dareringer Bourbon Whisky (caramel\, sweet cherry\, raisins\, almonds\, vanilla) (United States)\n– Bladnoch Vinaya Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (florals\, chocolate\, spices\, green apple) (Scotland)\n– Penderyn Sherrywood Single Malt Whisky (dried fruit\, dark chocolate\, berries\, toasty oak\, roasted nuts) (Scotland)\n– Aberfeldy 16 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (butterscotch\, vanilla\, sweet oak) (Scotland) \nSilent auction: Take home a piece of history\nWe are pleased to announce a featured item in the event’s silent auction. We are offering you an exclusive opportunity to have your very own piece of Cold War history: a vintage Eames-style chair. \nSeen throughout the Diefenbunker\, these iconic chairs were originally designed by Americans Charles and Ray Eames in the 1950s as a staple piece of furniture that was practical yet fashionable\, sturdy yet light\, and that could be mass-produced. Since the original fibreglass design\, the Eames brothers have produced several different models and styles of chairs that can still be found in homes and offices around the world. \nWhile the chairs in the silent auction are not artifacts of the bunker\, they do represent an aspect of North American culture during Cold War era and give us a glimpse into what life was like at the time. By taking home one of these stylish pieces from the Diefenbunker’s storage\, you are supporting our ability to continue stewarding the expansion of our collections and our preservation efforts. \nLook forward to other unique silent auction and raffle items including: \n– Private Tour of the Diefenbunker’s Machine Room (for up to 10 people)\n– Private Tour of the Diefenbunker’s Collections (for up to 5 people)\n– Diefenbunker Gift Basket\n– Diefenbunker Membership \n\n\nTHANK YOU TO OUR EVENT SPONSORS\nURANIUM\n \n \nFood Sponsor: The Swan at Carp \n \nNEPTUNIUM\n \nEquipment sponsor: Mastermind Event Rentals
