RCAF Station Beaverbank, Military radar station in Beaver Bank, Nova Scotia
The radar facility occupied 430 acres of land with separate domestic and operations areas divided by the county line between Halifax and Hants.
Established in 1954, the station functioned as a critical component of the Pinetree Line early warning radar system during Cold War operations.
The station represents North American military cooperation, as the United States Air Force provided financial support while the Royal Canadian Air Force managed operations.
The former base headquarters has transformed into Ivy Meadows Retirement Home, while other military structures have been demolished or fallen into disrepair.
The station maintained manual radar operations until 1964, when the implementation of the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment system led to its closure.
