Premier David Eby got a firsthand look at one of B.C.’s largest infrastructure projects as he toured the newly named John Horgan Dam and Generating Station during his visit to northern B.C.
The B.C. government is considering reviving two long-dormant hydroelectric projects, including the proposed Site E dam on the Peace River, as it looks for new sources of electricity to meet growing demand.
Operations being audited are within approximately 100 kilometres of Prince George, extending from Bear Lake in the north to Penny in the east, Hixon in the south and the Stuart River to the west. The licence has an allowable annual cut of approximately 187,000 cubic metres.
B.C. NDP Leader David Eby is facing criticism after confirming his family benefited from a $10-a-day child care program his government froze to new providers.
