Diefenbunker Museum
CFS Carp was decommissioned in 1994 following the reduction in the ICBM threat. The local municipality took control of the facility and a group of local volunteers, recognizing the heritage and tourism value of the Carp Diefenbunker, undertook to open the facility as a cold war museum and conduct public tours. It was purchased by the Diefenbunker Development Group in 1998, and officially opened as a museum. The non-profit group changed their name to the Diefenbunker, Canada's Cold War Museum shortly thereafter. It is currently open year-round for public tours.
The decommissioned bunker has been used as a movie set on several occasions, including for The Sum of All Fears and Rulers of Darkness.
