Fully accessible washrooms are available inside the museum. \nPlease note that the multiple levels\, stairs\, and narrow hallways in the Diefenbunker make the museum difficult to navigate with a stroller.

The museum is committed to contributing to the Calls to Action set out in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission\, specifically numbers 67 to 70 related to museums and archives. We endeavour to increase the representation of important Indigenous histories\, perspectives\, and languages in our Cold War content\, and to ensure respectful interpretation in our spaces. We are continually working to develop close and collaborative relationships with Indigenous communities\, whether locally\, provincially\, or nationally. \nWe hope you join us in learning from our past as we build our collective future.
