Probably a part of the Canadian network of research operators

AN/FPS-124 is a gap filler radar for the North Warning System. The radar is a high-reliability, unattended and easily maintained short-range radar designed to operate in conjunction with the AN/FPS-117 long-range surveillance radars in the upgraded North Warning System. The radars can detect and track small radar cross-section, low flying targets, and are to be particularly effective in detecting cruise missile penetration of US and Canadian airspace.
FPS-124 uses a cylindrical phased-array antenne operating in L-Band that is approximately 12 ft (3.66 m) tall with a diameter of 5 ft (1.25 m). The electronics for the transmitter/controller are located inside the cylindrical assembly. It is cooled by 11 fans, which are the only moving parts in the system. A total of 39 units have been produced.

Please take this with a grain of salt, as it is more of a curiosity then it is a legitimate proof of anything.
I was scrolling through google earth just messing around when I came across this...
If anyone has any information on what this is or any kind of idea what it could be, I'd appreciate it.
It looks like some kind of radar dishs and silos of some kind but what intrigued me was the roadways that led up off to the left seem to lead to what look like hanger doors that lead underground.
