You can walk inside the tunnels that the engines were once tested in. A further walk into the bush (south) takes you to some more cement structures incuding the explosives silo. Careful observers will find the remains of a plane nearby.

After the war, in 1946, A.V. Roe of Canada Ltd. took occupation of many former CEL buildings. Orenda Engines Ltd. leased the site to test airplane engines for the Avro Arrow. When the Arrow was cancelled, the town returned to a ghost town state. Today it is a small thriving community easily recognizable by the Tim Hortons and Wendy's pit-stop that many motorists travelling highway 69 will use.

Unknown, with the widening of highway 69 this location may cease to exist in the future.
