Canadian Forces Station Foymount (CFS Foymount) was a military radar station inFoymount, Ontario, Canada, (part ofBonnechere Valley).
RCAF Station Foymount was opened in 1952 as part of thePinetree Line ofNORAD radar stations. The radar itself was situated at the top of a 523-metre hill, one of the highest points in Eastern Ontario. The main lodger unit was No. 32 Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, later renamed No. 32 Radar Squadron when theSemi Automatic Ground Environment system was implemented in 1961.[2]
In 1967, RCAF Station Foymount was renamed CFS Foymount with the unification of theCanadian Forces. A few years later, the base was declared redundant; radars atCFS Falconbridge andCFS Lac St. Denis were deemed sufficiently powerful to monitor Foymount's coverage area. The station was closed in 1974 and sold to private interests.
The former Foymount radio station still houses a NAV CANADAFlight information serviceRemote communications outlet on the property, at coordinates of approximately 45°26'00.0"N 77°18'00.0"W.[3]
