CFS Senneterre, initially called RCAF Station Senneterre prior to 1967, was a long range radar and Ground Control Intercept station, part of the Pinetree Line radar defence network, situated 40 miles North of Val D'Or, Quebec. Situated atop Mount Bell, East of the town of Senneterre, Quebec, construction started in 1950. By 1953 the 34 AC&W Squadron became operational. From 1968 to 1973 Senneterre was the backup to CFB North Bay, the regional command post; in the event it was incapacitated by a nuclear strike, Senneterre was designated an Alternative Command Post (ALCOP). In 1988 the station was deemed no longer necessary as a long range radar, and closed.
