The NORTH WARNING SYSTEM (NWS)
The North Warning System (Canadian Portion) is a series of long and short range radar sites located in the Canadian high arctic stretching from the Alaska/Yukon border eastward following along the coastline to southern Labrador. Consisting of 11 Long Range Radar sites, 36 gap filler Short Range Radar sites and 5 Logistics Support sites (2 of which are co-located with Long Range sites), the North Warning System replaced the aging Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line that was constructed in the early 1950's. The North Warning System became operational in 1987/88. The following map depicts the approximate site locations.

NORAD NORTH AMERICAN AIR DEFENSE COMMAND CANADIAN AIR DEFENSE F-101 VOODOO SAGE SYSTEM 53774
This 1970s educational film, “Air Defense Command” was produced for the Canadian Armed Forces and provides information on the 22nd NORAD region in Canada. On May 12, 1958, the U.S. and Canada sign the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) agreement [today known as the North American Aerospace Defense Command and based at Colorado Springs, Colorado]. The film opens with a pair of McDonnell CF-101 Voodoo interceptor aircraft taking off, flying, and landing. These planes were used between 1961 and 1984 (:07-1:03). North Bay, Ontario is the headquarters for the 22nd NORAD region (1:04-1:33). A government car drives into the granite entrance of the three-story complex (1:34-1:53). More than 600 feet below ground is the SAGE (semi-automatic ground environment control system). A diagram is shown of the 10,000 feet of tunnels before the car continues driving through the darkness, its red revolving light shown turning and flashing (1:54-3:02). The airman arrives and enters the building (3:03- 3:23). A pointer highlights on the map the continent’s geographical areas for the air defense of both countries (3:24-4:17). The airman picks up a phone and turns on switches and dials on the system. A rapid succession of equipment images is shown (4:18-4:50). The facility has kitchen and dining facilities (shown), a hospital and infirmary, a canteen, wash rooms, and showers. It also has underground generators (4:51-5:05). Airmen are seen wearing headsets and viewing an air traffic control screen (5:06-5:32). The ‘warning line’ is shown on the map, and the 22nd is responsible for the four distant early warning sites in the Canadian Arctic as well as other radar points (5:33-6:28). Pilots scramble to their planes, which take off and fly in pairs (6:29-7:44). For training purposes, a T-33 Shooting Star “T-Bird” has intruded. The lead Voodoo moves closer to make visual contact while the second drops back to take action if the intruder becomes hostile (7:45-8:40). The training exercise over, all three planes land, with the drogue parachute shown activated on one CF-101 (8:41-19:20).
The McDonnell CF-101 Voodoo was an all-weather interceptor aircraft operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Forces between 1961 and 1984. They were manufactured by the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri for the United States Air Force (as F-101s), and later sold to Canada. CF-101s replaced the obsolete Avro CF-100 Canuck in the RCAF's all-weather fighter squadrons. The Voodoo's primary armament was nuclear AIR-2A Genie unguided air-to-air rockets, and there was significant political controversy in Canada about their adoption. Although they never fired a weapon in wartime, the CF-101 served as Canada's primary means of air defence from Quick Reaction Alert facilities at Canadian airbases. The CF-101s were retired in the 1980s and replaced with McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet fighters. Many examples are preserved in museums and parks in Canada and the United States.

In order to meet the requirements of NORAD, Canada planned to make a significant investment in upgrading its military technology and resources. Previously, Canada's military planning had focused primarily on the development of the Avro Arrow interceptor. After a lengthy debate, it was determined that the Avro was too costly and unable to effectively meet Canada's security needs. The Avro project was abandoned, and in its place the government agreed to establish an arrangement with the United States for the sharing of Bomarc ground-to-air missiles as well as utilizing the American Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE), a system for tracking and intercepting enemy aircraft.
