Taken from pamphlet at the museum:

During WWII, almost 6000 Canadians were trained on RADAR at the request of the British government and sent into every theatre of war. Sworn to an oath of secrecy that was not fully lifted until 1991, it was only recently that these men and woman were able to share their experiences. Canadian radar personnel were a crucial part of the war effort. Many of these early radar veterans went on to have leadership roles in the development of radar during the Cold War and in the Canadian electronics industry.

The contributions of the thousands of men and women on Canadian radar since 1940, both military and civilian, have helped to protect our soldiers on the front lines, our people at home and helped to create a technological legacy that continues to be part of our everyday lives.
