Once a secret bunker designed to house the government in time of nuclear war, the Diefenbunker is Canada’s Cold War Museum, a National Historic Site and a unique engineering achievement. Constructed 1959-1961 using the critical path method, the four-storey subterranean complex was built to be blast and fallout resistant against the effects of nuclear attack. Interior features include the blast tunnel, medical centre, decontamination chamber, cafeteria, dormitories, Bank of Canada vault, war cabinet room, prime minister’s private quarters, and CBC studio. Self-guided tours of the entire complex, the first time in the building’s history.

Built in 1974-75 to accommodate a branch of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton’s transportation department. The first computerized traffic system was installed by Honeywell in 1976 to maintain 200 traffic signals, which at the time was the second system of its kind in Canada. In 1990, the City of Ottawa installed its own unique upgraded system. Now the operation maintains 1,050 traffic control signals, the central traffic control computer systems, the audible pedestrian signals program, and 126 traffic cameras. It installs and operates the red light cameras at 19 intersections citywide. Building not wheelchair accessible.
