Below a farmer's field in the Ottawa Valley, Canada's "secret" bunker quietly began operation in 1961. Throughout its 33 year lifetime the Diefenbunker was the Central Emergency Government Headquarters for Canada. Federal government budget cuts led to its being decommissioned in 1994.

Visit the Diefenbunker here.
