On May 29th, 1951 a joint Canadian (RCAF) and American (USAF) project tookplace. Its purpose was to mount a defense against possible Soviet air threatsagainst North America. It was estimated that by 1954, the USSR would have thecapability to send long-range bombers. The project would see the construction of aseries of radar bases all along the country to provide advanced warning of incomingaircraft. CFB Edgar (site C-4 or call sign “Cupid”) was built as a radar station for theDepartment of National Defense (DND) in November of 1950. It was completed inSeptember 1952 under the command of HC Vinnicombe. It consisted of three”Armco” huts, sixty-five married quarters, a school, heating plant, sewage disposalplant, fire hall, pump house, mess hall, barracks, and homes for the servicemenand women. Facilities included a 10 bed Sick Quarters which provided medical anddental services; also a recreation building that housed a gymnasium, swimmingpool, club room, general store, barbershop, and post office.

Now, the former military base is in the process of re-development for a newresidential subdivision with over 200 estate lots, on approximately 46ha of land.The proposed development will incorporate a combination of urban and semi-urbanroad cross sections.

The site will also include a stormwatermanagement block, upgrades to existing on-site wells, refurbishing an existingwater reservoir, and the installation of pumps to deliver the ultimate design of theproposed water demand conditions.
