Several of the facilities on active Canadian Forces Bases, such as CFB Borden and CFB Valcartier, remain in government control, albeit mothballed.
Existing Diefenbunkers which members of the public may visit include the facility at the former CFS Carp, now converted into a year-round Cold War museum, as well as the smaller facility at CFS Debert, which is opened several times a year for tours.
As of 2005 the bunker at CFS Debert is home to the cadet regional gliding school in the summer, is available to other groups throughout the year, and is occasionally used as a barracks by military units in transit across Nova Scotia.

 CFB Gagetown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Existing training facilities dating from the First and Second World Wars in eastern Canada were relatively small (see CFS Debert, CFS Aldershot, CFB Valcartier, CFB Petawawa), thus a new facility was considered.
At the time of its opening in 1956, until the opening of CFB Suffield in 1971, Camp Gagetown was the largest military training facility in Canada and the entire Commonwealth of Nations.
In the early 1970s, CFB Gagetown began to simultaneously refer to itself as Combat Training Centre Gagetown (CTC Gagetown), referring to its comprehensive artillery, armour, infantry and engineer training schools, a role that continues to the present day.
