When news broke that a Cold War bunker in Debert, N.S., was being converted into a luxury nuclear fallout shelter, journalism alumni Giancarlo Cininni, BJ(Hons)’24, and Antonia Zwissler, BJ(Hons)’25, stuck with the story for months. The result? Their feature, “A Cold War bunker gets a luxury makeover as ‘doomsday’ condos,” was published by the BBC in July.
