The Bombshelter

The Bombshelter (often shortened to Bomber) is a pub run by the Federation of Students and is located in the Student Life Centre.

=History= With the opening of the Campus Centre in 1968, came the appearance of a pub on campus. It initially had no liquor license and was run jointly by the Federation of Students and the university administration.

Name
As early as April 12, 1976 there were motions to come up with a proper name for the Campus Centre pub. Suggestions included "The Hydrant", "The CC," "Public Utility Board," and "The Orange Bombshelter". No decision was made however, until April 3 1980, when a motion was passed to change the name to "Bombshelter".

2003 Closure
The Bombshelter was closed in 2003 after the university pulled the Federation's liquor license as a result of a fight in Federation Hall on New Year's eve. The Federation of Students took the university to court over this breach of contract, and a settlement was reached. The Bomber reopened in June of that year.
