Hello,
I am looking for some very specific information in regards to the former base that made up part of the DEW line during the height of the Cold War.
Located in what is now Greater Sudbury ON, is an area that locally we refer to as the "Radar Base". The PMQ's and barracks are all still there now being used as geared-to-income housing. All the other buildings are still standing (although boarded up) as are warehouses and other buildings on an adjacent parcel of land.
My concern is that this vital piece of Canadian military history and it is not being protected. There is much that can be done to this site to tell of this country's role in the Cold War, but I don't know where to start? Does it just start with my MP, or is there anyone at the DND that could assist with this?
Also, if anyone has any pictures or knows where I could get some pictures/archives/articles about this installation I would be most appreciative; and if you or anyone you know ever lived or served at Falconbridge during the Cold War I would be very interested in speaking with you.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me on my quest!
