April 24th, Dr Barry Bruce The Diefenbunker


The Diefenbunker is a massive four-storey underground bunker, built between 1959 and 1961. During the Cold War, top officials were to take shelter here in the event of a nuclear war. It was active as Canadian Forces Station Carp until 1994.
Today, it operates as a not-for-profit, charitable museum with award-winning tours and programs.


Pictures of Dr. Bruce are hard to find


Dr. Barry Bruce is the Principal Founding Member of the Diefenbunker Development Group. He was the driving force behind the acquisition of the Bunker from West Carleton Township and the idea to turn the facility into a proper museum Board

Barry served as the Chairman and CEO of the Museum (1998 to 2002) and President of the Museum Board of Directors (2002 to 2010).

 PROBUS' Vital Purpose

... to stimulate thought, interest and participation in activities at a time in life when it is easy to become complacent and self-centred.
