students) are enrolled at the two post-secondary institutions, which share a campus in the west end of the city.
North Bay is the site of CFB North Bay (22 Wing), a North American Aerospace Defense Command control center, with operations formerly taking place inside a facility located
deep underground, similar to, but on a much smaller scale than, the famous Cheyenne Mountain base in Colorado. As of October 2006, Operations were moved out of the "Hole" to
the David L Pitcher Building near the north entrance to the Underground Facility. Although historically 22 Wing was a sizable operation, today it employs approximately 500
personnel. North Bay is also home to The Algonquin Regiment, A Coy, a Canadian Forces Army Reserve unit. B Coy of The Algonquin Regiment is located in Timmins.
The service industry, tourism, and transportation also play a significant role in the city's economy.
