CFS Dana

Canadian Forces Station Dana (CFS Dana) was a military radar station 35 miles east of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the Rural Municipality of Bayne, Saskatchewan.

RCAF Station Dana (also known as Sage Hill) was opened in 1962 as part of the Pinetree Line of NORAD radar stations. The station was later renamed CFS Dana when the military branches were merged together. The station was part of 45 Radar Squadron.[1] The station was disbanded in 1987. The site is currently in the hands of a Sagehill Development Corporate that is trying to find new uses for the base.

The station consisted of radar domes, and support facilities.[2]
