Asbestos, which can cause lung cancer and mesothelioma when inhaled, is present in many of the buildings at the Canadian Forces School of Communications and Electronics (CFSCE) in Kingston, Ont., according to the Department of National Defence (DND).
DND says in an Inquiry of Ministry tabled in the House of Commons on May 15 that all 13 buildings at CFSCE were built between 1935 and 2012, with the average age being about 60 years.
