Part of the Pinetree Line radar defence complex, the Baldy Hughes Air Station was established in 1952 and had a significant impact upon the community of Prince George where it was built. Dykhuis and McElroy conducted extensive research into the history of the base and produced a site-specific installation based on the radar domes used at the site. Included in the exhibition are archival photographs taken by base personnel, brochures and period documents as well as wall text pertaining to the history and role of the station particularly up until its closure in 1988.
