‘It’s part of our national heritage. There is no better way to preserve it’
A Cold War-era radar tower — constructed to scan the skies for Soviet bombers, then abandoned on the Prairie grasslands — will soon be restored to its former glory.
Edmonton’s Canadian Civil Defence Museum and Archives has purchased the Canadian Forces Station Alsask site near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border nearly 450 kilometres southeast of Edmonton.
The isolated historic site is home to a four-storey steel and fibreglass domed tower that once housed a military command centre.
