During World War II, the Canadian government took several steps to prepare citizens for the possibility of a nuclear attack, particularly as the threat of nuclear weapons emerged towards the war's end. They established public education campaigns to inform citizens about air raid precautions and civil defense measures. Additionally, the government conducted drills and exercises to prepare for potential attacks, including the use of bomb shelters and evacuation plans. These efforts aimed to ensure that the public was aware of the risks and understood how to respond in the event of an attack.
