This is Pretendahar: The Indoor Urban Operations Training Centre inside one of the original aircraft hangars of the old CFB Toronto. It is designed to prepare Canadian troops for overseas deployment with actors, a mock "set" of a Kabul suburb and simulated gunfights and explosions. By Tyler Anderson/National Post
