Daily Life in the Diefenbunker

Hosted by: Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum

In this program, students explore what life would have been like in the Diefenbunker during a lockdown. Divided into three groups (military, civilian, and government), they discover how each group would operate during an emergency. They then debate the importance of each individual’s role in the defence of the country, to decide who among them warrants one of the limited spots in the bunker.
