I had wanted to see this and got the chance on April 2, 2016. This dome was part of the DEW (Distant Early Warning) Line to give advance warning of a Soviet attack. There are a number of abandoned buildings in Alsask that used to house military personnel. Alsask (Alberta/Saskatchewan) is right on the border. The town is in Saskatchewan, the cemetery is in Alberta. The RCAF base (Royal Canadian Air Force) ceased operation in 1987.
Ken was telling me about these huges golf ball looking things...nice!
