the tunnel is 10 meters (10 yards) long and two meters (two yards) high. He said it isn't near any infrastructure and doesn't appear to lead anywhere.

The chamber was discovered Jan. 14 in a secluded wooded area by a conservation officer who spotted a large pile of dirt. Saunders said more than one person with some level of expertise likely built it.
Police found plywood wall supports, a gas generator, moisture resistant light bulbs, a sump pump for removing ground water, a wheelbarrow and food and beverage containers. They also found a rosary with a Remembrance Day poppy nailed to a wall.
Deputy Chief Mark Saunders said there's nothing to suggest a criminal element.

Toronto Police: men built mystery tunnel to use as man cave

TORONTO (AP) — Two young men who built a mysterious tunnel in Toronto had no criminal intent, police said Monday. They just wanted a man cave.
Const. Victor Kwong said tips from the public helped them identify the two men in their 20s responsible for building the underground chamber near a Pan Am Games venue. News of the tunnel's discovery set off a social media frenzy, with theories of its purpose ranging from zombie hide outs to affordable housing.
