 |  | Fallout shelter in tdsb schools
< on 8/22/2009 12:49 AM >
|  | | | I found out through some people i know who went to Birch Cliff Heights PS. That there is a fallout shelter that goes to Birch Cliff Heights PS,Birchmount Park CI and variety village in Toronto. There are 4 entrances i believe. One in each building and one public in the open entrance that i don't know of.I know where one entrance is in Birch Cliff Heights PS(it is in the back of the school right in front of the entrance in the back near the basketball courts says tunnels on it (look at pic where the pin is) i know of the 2 are in the other buildings but not specifically where in the buildings and last one no clue.i believe the fallout shelter was added back in 1968 when Birchmount Park CI was built.

birchmount
variety village
i was told that the tunnels are big enough to keep hundreds of people. The entrance of brichcliff is used or use to be used for storage of equipment i assume same for birchmount. The door to the entrance for brichcliff is locked and marked tunnels as previously stated and the distant between the 2 schools is half a km so they are big or at least long. have found no maps of the tunnels or plans still looking any help would be grateful
should be fun to explore need to get lock pick set to bust the lock on the door.i know of other schools have fallout shelters but not joined to 3 building like this. i am speculating that most of the fallout shelter is in birchmount since the school has a large basement but never used and the shelter should not be under house or road could be variety village can't be birchcliff because it was built in 1903-1905 but a tunnel was add.co-ordinates in images

|  | | | I know they have one in Northern SS, I've been in it, although it was used as a storage tunnel, and locked (abandoned range) was there as well.

Most members are against this, and for good reason too.
Although, I would be interested in this place, any way of getting maps?

| | | | The maps is the problem because i think school blueprints are restricted for terrorist reasons and i don't need to be on any more watch list but will check.found old pictures old danforth and birchmount.but other then that the city hall is hiding or doesn't have fallout shelter plans at least on there website archives. i assuming blueprints of schools are not easy to gain since there institutions

| | | | I think you're getting pretty worked-up over these "fallout shelters." Keep in mind that in most cases, a "fallout shelter" is usually just a basement in a public (gov't owned) building that has plumbing. What converts the basement into a "fallout shelter" is maybe a couple canisters of emergency food/water supplies, and then the location being denoted in a database & a FALLOUT SHELTER sign being posted at a public entrance to the building.
I hope you get inside some & post your findings, but prepare to be disappointed.
If you're a kid attending one of these "tdsb schools," why don't you opt to do an article on the shelters for the school newspaper or as a research paper for a class, and then simply ask a school administrator to give you a tour of the shelter?
I think you should also expect the legend of some sort of tunnel system connecting various fallout shelters to be false, unless the reality is that the tunnel system is for utilities access, and the schools are or were once heated by a central steam plant. If this is the case, you can often detect the tunnel system in the Winter by melted snow on the ground above the tunnel.

| | | | you are right they might be just a room.but i would be the only one in there for how long and i have people telling me who been in there that it's big. i think it's more then just a basement since how builds a .5 km tunnel just to another schools basement.it can't be central heating since both schools were built over 60 years apart. still searching for more info though.no snow melted
