 With unification of the Canadian Forces, the facility was renamed Canadian Forces Station Armstrong in 1967.Improvements in radar technology made the site redundant, and on 1 September 1974, the main gate at CFS Armstrong was swung shut for good and CFS Armstrong was disbanded on 1 October 1974.Later that year the site was sold to private owners and turned into a popular gathering area for the Armstrong, Thunder Bay District, Ontario that included a restaurant and bar, hotel, multiple apartments, garages, and a curling rink.
