Canadian Forces Station Beausejour:

Opened in 1953 as Beausejour Air Force Station of the United States Air Force, with the radar functions being run by No. 916 Aircraft Control & Warning Squadron. Control of the station was transferred to the RCAF in 1962, with the radar functions being run by No. 48 Radar Squadron. The station was re-named RCAF Station Beausejour, then CFS Beausejour. The station closed in 1986.

The former station then became the Manitoba Regional Correctional Centre, later re-named the Milner Ridge Correctional Centre. Most of the buildings and radar towers remained, with the former gatehouse converted into a staff lounge when a new gatehouse was built.
