History [ edit ]
CFS Leitrim, located south of Ottawa, is Canada 's oldest operational signal intelligence collection station. Established by the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals in 1941 as I Special Wireless Station and renamed Ottawa Wireless Station in 1949, CFS Leitrim acquired its current name when the Supplementary Radio System was created in 1966. In 1946, the station's complement was 75 personnel. The current strength is 975 military personnel and 50+ civilian employees.[2] [3]
To enhance security, Leitrim road, which passed directly in front of the station, was diverted roughly 300m to the north of the station in 2009.
