NORTHWEST TERRITORIES

Resolution Island Air Force Station (United States Air Force):

Opened in 1954 as Resolution Island Air Force Station of the United States Air Force, with the radar functions being run by No. 920 Aircraft Control & Warning Squadron. The station would guide interceptors from the 64th Air Division at RCAF Station Goose Bay.

Although officially a Pinetree site, it was rumored to be a listening post for spying on the Russians.

The station closed in 1961.

The site was re-activated by the Canadian Government as an unmanned North Warning System radar site in 1991. Most of the original buildings remain, mixed with new radar towers.
