It sounds classier if you pronounce it "tray-passing"

| | | Hearing stories of this place from older family members was what first sparked my interest in this whole activity. I've done some research and have come to understand that very little remains inside, and that the city has gone to great lengths to seal it up. The heavy locks, welded bolts, and stories of a removed ventilation system speak of these efforts. Regardless of these facts, the very existence of this submerged, single floor, 10x13 meter box fascinates me. Does anyone know anymore about this place?

When in danger, when in doubt, RUN IN CIRCLES, SCREAM AND SHOUT!

| | | So based on the small size & design, it wasn't really a shelter, but more so an emergency operations center type of protected place for Edmonton key officials + civil defense staff to re-locate to during an emergency situation & use telephones & radios to gather information, make decisions, and direct emergency responders from. As-such, there are probably old articles & photos of it in operation back in the day to be found in city & area newspaper archives.
The above is all just educated speculation -- I've never been to Alberta...
