Diefenbaker Canada Centre
Canada's only prime minister's archive and museum, presenting the life of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and the history of the Cold War.
The Diefenbaker Canada Centre sits on the riverbank on the University of Saskatchewan campus. It is Canada's only archive and museum dedicated to a prime minister, honouring John Diefenbaker, the 13th prime minister of Canada. The centre recreates his prime ministerial office and cabinet meeting room, and displays archives, photographs and political history from the Cold War era. The Diefenbakers themselves are buried on the riverbank outside the centre. Admission is inexpensive, and a visit takes about 1 hour, which can be combined with a tour of the campus.
