Toronto Tunnels

Beneath the City of Toronto are miles of tunnels (not including the TTC subway system). The main arteries run from the old Downsview  Military Airbase to Queens Park to Union station. This I know from my airforce experience in 1960 (411 Squadron). I was partly trained in these subterranean rooms. In the 1960's (the Cold War) these areas were used for air raid shelters for military personel and politicians in the event of a nuclear attack .

My question is, "What are they being used for today?"

Through various old military friends I have heard these tunnels are being used in part for Civil Disturbance Storage Facilities for crowd control weapons and detainment areas. I assume this means teargas containers, chemicals, etc and detention cells.

I ask the news media to investigate the above.
